soughing of the wind

hard rain
on the chimney cap--
the wind chime
~~

windstorm
rattling this old house--
my shallow breaths
~~

soughing of the wind
silenced . . . the rising roar
of the plane's passing
~~

up and down,
cats in, cats out--
I bang my heel
~~

no ice cream--
I try meditating
on haiku
[after Santoka Taneda, from Haiku Mind, by P. Donegan]

    I always enjoy your Haiku. Appropriate for tonight's falling temps!
