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.

Waiting out the rain

in a warm, dry place with friends

coffee and krullers.
