October 31, 2011

Sunlight filtering

through bare tree branches. Autumn’s

cold breath in morning.

October 30, 2011

Mischievous puss,

what have you gotten into?

Curiosity.

October 29, 2011

Sitting, waiting for

inspiration to come. It

arrives, I grab, run.

October 28, 2011

Dark, gloomy day. Rain

pounding against the window.

I should stay in bed.

October 27, 2011

Cat, leave me alone!

Why must you climb on me so

early in the morn?

October 26, 2011

Chilly morning air

makes me pull blankets closer.

Cat cuddles nearer.

October 25, 2011

Random syllables,

with no inspiration. In

the haiku pattern.

October 24, 2011

My dreams mingle with

waking hours when I feel sick.

I banish this cold.

October 23, 2011

Plucking autumn leaves,

red, orange, gold from the grass.

Fall’s beautiful gifts.

October 22, 2011

Stuck inside, sick, tired.

I can’t do what I want to.

Self pity prevails.

October 21, 2011

Coughing. Sputtering.

The cold virus found

me finally. Darn.

October 20, 2011

Girls with red, walking,

commemorating forty

-one years later. Walk. 

October 19, 2011

Oh my sleepless night.

While the world sleeps I wander,

dreamless, dazed, sleepless.

October 18, 2011

Autumn sunlight, it

beckons me outside again.

Frolic in the leaves.

October 17, 2011

Cat doesn’t like his

regal claws clipped. Get away

my pesky humans.

October 16, 2011

Outside my window,

there are still fresh blackberries.

Summer’s last sweet gift.

October 15, 2011

Morning chilly air

seeping through bedroom window.

Add another quilt.

October 14, 2011

The last of the Star-

Gazer lily petals falls.

Summer is long gone.

October 13, 2011

Chinese lanterns so

orange, bright, perfect, striking.

Autumn is here now.

October 12, 2011

Picking polished rocks

from McNeill Bay beach, strolling.

The time goes by still.

October 11, 2011

Rain pouring down on

quiet Oak Bay, slumbering.

Thick fog rolling in.

October 10, 2011

Kamloops in autumn,

is nicer than under snow.

Winter memories.

October 9, 2011

I am thankful for

my health, family, friends, cat.

My Thanksgiving thoughts.

October 8, 2011

Travelling, not many

clothes to choose from, what to wear?

Inspiration strikes.

October 7, 2011

Melancholy rain

outside the window, gloomy.

Come back autumn sun.

October 6, 2011

Crisp autumn sun streams

through drawn curtains, beckoning.

Come out, run with me.

October 5, 2011

Slowly gliding out

of port towards green islands.

Sea swallowing us.

October 4, 2011

Running through crisp air,

the smell of sea water, clouds.

All Beach Drive beauty.

October 3, 2011

Yowling, bossy cat.

Wake up my humans, feed me,

pet me, time to play.

October 2, 2011

Procrastinating

the inevitable run.

Must get out and go.

October 1, 2011

Cat with bended head,

wrapped in a tight fuzzy ball.

Can I steal your warmth?
