Look left, look right, look
out, look here, look askance, look
behind, look forward.

35

Fill in the dates on
the new calendar. Even
glaciers move onward.

34

Molasses running
uphill :: flow of time for last
five minutes of work.

33

Old cat stretches her
shaky shank, settles on the
pillow for the night.

32

oHIo would be
better if there were less of
it. Are we there yet?

31

Holiday gathers
folks who normally don't talk.
How 'bout dem Lions?

30

Solid earth became
as water when fire melted
air out of the sky.

29

Shiny paper and
ribbons so neat, so soon torn,
so soon all passes.

28

Wow — Lots o' snow. Hope
you're safe and warm. Would you like
help getting dug out?

27

Cottonball of spark
blinks black beaded eyes and calls
chick-a-dee-dee-dee!

26

Shoveling drifted
glitter, I look up to see
still more sky falling.

25

From naked branches
starlings drip like black fruits of
winter's icy rain.

24

The way that once was
open is now blockaded.
Thanks, snowplow driver.

23

Petals of my eyes
drift slowly closed, two flowers
dormant for the night.

22

Too many cookies,
candy, coffee, salami.
I don't feel so good.

21

As a hawk from the
sky drops suddenly on prey,
the snow falls earthward.

20

Winter waking up
is hard to do. Dark and cold.
Draw fire from within.

19

Slipping down icy
paths is more fun with someone's
arm to lean against.

18

Flutter of brown on
field of winter white. Sparrow
and leaf become one.

17

Okay, so I fell
off the haiku wagon. Time
to get back with it.

16

The bubble bath my
sister sent makes me smell like
a sugar cookie.

15

Chilly jewel from
crown bounces free; by a cold
raindrop anointed.

14

Stamp off snow, shake out
ice diamonds from hair, pick up
purring cat. Ah, home.

Quiet coffee shop
shattered by burst of laughter.
Why am I so loud?
