Only 16 days left in 2011. Is that a good thing with you or an unhappy situation? It's probably no good dwelling on what should'a, could'a been done, or done differently, because we can't get it back. Except in our memories. Here are some poems from 2010's in front of the moon.
HAIKU
blue heron
feasting on beetles
in the old pond
~~~
HAIKU
one week till winter
a sparrow
in the birdbath
~~~
SENRYU
all night long
the neighbor's windchime
outside my bedroom
~~~
FOUND SENRYU
six trees in the hours
"a little bit of Christmas
in every room"
--Todd Raney, Little Rock,
homeowner on the Quapaw
Quarter Christmas Tour
~~~
SENRYU
nearly Christmas
among table ornaments
cough medicine
~~~
SENRYU
my late dad's script
on the Christmas greeting
was my brother's
~~~
HAIKU
the lead goose
of a lopsided vee
honking . . . honking
~~~
