20 year old dog
rides a sunbeam
on the rug

#dailyhaikuprompt

hang chrysanthemums
on your desert porch --
pack rats will balk

#dailyhaikuprompt

wind storm drive
on I-5, RVs sway
on either side

#dailyhaikuprompt

add ballast to your
cauldron of means --
barley & bay

#dailyhaikuprompt

refinish mother's
armoire -- walnut forgives
but holds its ghosts

November
a right whale surfaces
by our small boat

#dailyhaikuprompt

city lights
on the horizon, ruby
and cinnebar

#dailyhaikuprompt

next door roofers
blast old Motown in gusts
of words I know

#dailyhaikuprompt

a foot on each side
of the strand of morning
follow the witches

#dailyhaikuprompt

my dream house
has a wrap-around porch
and all the lost dogs

her face breaks
the pond shallows, laughing
with the ripples

April was all
apple green but for the hiss
just beneath the grass

Ranier blossoms
beneath the fog

whirl through the sleet
tripping on your skirt, hair
a mist of silver

with flour all over
your hands

one coyote
wearing her night coat
absent her mate

for this dissipation:
stems & seeds

string orchid flowers
into a lei and hang it
around your resolve

she is not a shell
of herself, only floating
on another tide

hair hung like white
wisteria behind her
hospital gown

desert dog still
circles her hay field bed
before she lies down

spray of juice --
African Grey parrot nips
into a grape

#DailyHaikuPrompt - ripe grapes

silver brushes
garnet rings and remedy --
honey maple desk

#DailyHaikuPrompt - maple

until you see its bud
nod up through the snow
you haven't known blue

#DailyHaikuPrompt - crocus

recast her legend
as myth, see if she swallows
any of it

#DailyHaikuPrompt - swallows

eyes burnished
blue, her shadow slender
as a dragonfly

#DailyHaikuPrompt - dragonfly

morning's edict
another fetid puddle
of malice

#DailyHaikuPrompt - puddle

six o'clock walk
coyote hides in the plum
purple of dusk

my dog's ghost laughs
at thunder as the night sky
blooms chrysanthemums

when I talk to you
now, I turn my head
up to the sky

#DailyHaikuPrompt - ghost

issue overload
blue worry rolling in
stop right there

#DailyHaikuPrompt - halt

riptide charm ---
a sneaker wave that curls
around you and pulls

#DailyHaikuPrompt - high tide
