The rain falling down
dictates outfit, hooded coat.
In fall tea tastes best.

November 29, 2013

Precarious perch
does not worry sleeping cat.
I’m awake thinking.

November 28, 2013

Cool mist is rolling
up my street from the ocean.
Fog horns call sadly.

November 27, 2013

In the morning sun,
your beautiful silhouette.
Centre of my world.

November 26, 2013

Playing with language.
Arranging the syllables,
creating haiku.

November 25, 2013

Piles of sodden leaves,
on the barren boulevard.
Inside Bearss lime blooms.

November 24, 2013

The dandelion
blowing in the wind spreads seeds.
I weed the garden.

November 23, 2013

Language of romance.
Humble words, arranged certain
ways make poetry.

November 22, 2013

Cleaning up rotten
jack-o’-lantern from front steps.
Autumn is fading.

November 21, 2013

I can’t understand
the cat’s insistent meows.
Check Google Translate.

November 20, 2013

My patch of sunlight
grows smaller in short fall days.
I seek new warmth, you.

November 19, 2013

The furnace rumbles.
Late fall sun doesn't warm me
sitting by window.

November 18, 2013

The racket next door
of renovations plagues me.
My mind is quiet.

November 17, 2013

Rain falls steadily
from miserable grey skies.
I’m happy inside.

November 16, 2013

Calories counting
makes me sorry for myself.
Weighing my options.

November 15, 2013

Cat meows to go
out. Rain. Wet paw prints on deck.
Loud yowls at the door.

November 14, 2013

Weak autumn sunshine
sets the coloured leaves afire.
Dull grey days ahead.

November 13, 2013

Stunning colour of
green eyes in the morning light.
Do you see my soul?

November 12, 2013

Staring into the
distance, pondering my life.
Live in the present.

November 11, 2013

Three poppies in mind,
marking my family’s place,
in rows with heroes.

November 10, 2013

Why are ten pins so
difficult to knock over?
Bowling gutter balls.

November 9, 2013

Combining simple
ingredients for a cake.
Chocolate is magic.

November 8, 2013

Constant amazement
observing your daily growth.
Amaryllis bulb.

November 7, 2013

Bowl of rocks, water,
can nurture Paperwhite bulbs.
Your love makes me grow.

November 6, 2013

Jostling with the cat
for a place in the sunshine.
Armchair politics.

November 5, 2013

Marching steadily,
time is passing as I wait
Patience wearing thin.

November 4, 2013

The cat’s purring is
lost below furnace droning.
It’s quiet outside.

November 3, 2013

Thick blanket of frost
glimmers in the morning sun.
It’s time to fall back.

November 2, 2013

Driving rain cancels
my stroll through Victoria.
Tea and book instead.

November 1, 2013

The candy is gone.
November has come with grey
heralding winter.
