Grudgingly weeping
birch surrenders the old path.
My childhood fort grows.

Mundane household tasks,
ponderous mind drifting away.
I'm a world away.

The wet weather earns
a prime dirty look from cat.
But I booked sun, lord.

Rainy days bring cute
sights like bedraggled cats who
only have wet paws.

Afternoon sun is
more pleasant with lounging cat.
The cat days of spring.

Verdant shrub growing
outside the window, blocking
the fresh springtime sun.

May long weekend gives
me sun-kissed skin, dreaming of
heated summer days.

Revenge of the weeds,
I ache from day's gardening.

I drink in their scent
as I struggle to find words.
Lilacs are a dream.

Thank you Mom for the
encouragement to write prose,
reading my haiku.

Orange blossoms fill
the house with smell of jasmine.
Promise of sweet fruit.

I try to not take
it as a bad sign, when my

Obsessed with commas,
desperately spell checking, my
editing anguish.

I feel eyes watching,
turn to see you in the hall,
wide eyes, alert tail.

Cat observes birds through
window, dreaming of fresh fowl.
Their sweet songs go on.

Restless night leaves me
thrashed, bleary-eyed, with a sore
throat, dreaming of sleep.

My white orchid's drained,
with limp blooms and feeble leaves.
Soon it will slumber.
