4 August 2026 (the shades of green)

the shades of green

in backyard trees

afternoon cool

25 May 2026 (soaking rain)

soaking rain

birds flit behind

a screen of new leaves

11 January 2026 (just a sip)

just a sip

of chartreuse

moss under snow

1 October 2025 (distant fishing boat)

distant fishing boat . . .

the green within

a sunlit wave

Bonus haiku by my friend Bryan:

fallout

glowing

warblers

21 July 2025 (first cicada)

first cicada —

the weathered green door

of the artist’s studio

21 May 2025 (green lights)

green lights

all the way home —

sun on new leaves

20 May 2025 (lifting fog)

lifting fog . . .

the revelation

of green

13 May 2025 (new leaves)

new leaves the green in a warbler’s song

17 March 2025 (whereas clause)

whereas clause

snow melt reveals

the green of moss

28 July 2023 (sun-warmed)

sun-warmed beach stones

a snake the color

of new grass

11 April 2022 (green)

spring river

the green of new leaves

the green of moss
