Drunk on sun and wind
I stagger off the beach and
Head to The Sand Bar
Dissolute Haiku: Cheers!

Looking out and staying in
Two years in a jar

Rose and Thorn
Decay of velvet
Heathen amidst the roses
Attar of the dirt

28 words
sliver of silver
moon held by apricot clouds
mid-summer twilight
glide by
crow flies
homeward
from a cobalt sky
seagulls skate the wind and
glide into the sun

Storm at the Beach
The wind sweeps the beach
Pushing seagulls off their paths
And tourists homeward
Gusts surge and explode
Attacking windows and doors
Shrieking, “Let me in!”
Furious tempest
Drives the winter rain sideways
Cold settles in bones

Marigold, La Calendula
Ancient Aztec flower
Lady of the Dead’s beloved
Mark of fragile life
Curer of hiccups
Healer of the lightning-struck
Path to the living

Haiku for a Kleptocrat
the vacant stare hides
a mind of exquisite greed
what’s in it for me?

Haiku for April
high above bracken
fern and foxglove Mother crow
sings her lullaby

Transitory
Sand, rocks and seaweed
Find temporary home on
Ever shifting shore
