29 December 2025 (winter rain)

winter rain

only hearing now

about his health scare

12 November 2025 (fresh snow)

fresh snow

the aurora borealis

in friends’ photos

And this haiku, from my friend Monica Wood:

my friend promised

no more snow

and yet more snow

30 October 2025 (bayside birthday)

bayside birthday red rock crabs crowd the trap

6 October 2025 (the poem)

the poem

we didn’t write together

sun on asters

5 October 2025 (a friend waves)

A variation on yesterday’s haiku

a friend waves

from the departing ferry . . .

heart-leaved aster

23 November 2024 (November rain)

November rain

the passing clouds

of our laughter

22 October 2021 (lily)

long friendship . . .

a single lemon lily

amid the fallen leaves

for Elizabeth

17 August 2021 (Perseids)

Perseids

distant friends appear

disappear in a dream

26 June 2020 (call)

morning birdsong

anticipating a call

from an old friend

22 May 2019 (daffodils)

trading birdsong

for daffodils

green friendship

December 19: Social media

From a Portland bar

a friend shares with me

the holiday cocktail list.
