SPRING IN HONG KONG - '03
Tiny
ballerinas
rehearse their routines. Pink
tutus & tights and surgical
face masks.

FROM AN OBIT - '05
The task
of teaching in
a one-room schoolhouse: none
of the students were the same age,
alas.
Husband
gone to the war,
she cares for ailing mom
& two small children on her own.
Bravo!

YOUR BOSS IS CALLING - '05
Sister,
soon to retire,
wakens on a Friday--
she thinks it's Saturday, goes back
to sleep.

AMATEURS VS. PROFESSIONALS - '07
After
critiquing poor
haiku from the heartland,
I read Upstate Dim Sum. What a
difference.

NOW AND THEN - '12
I swing
and inhale new
gardenias' aroma
thinking I should be busy with
something--
sanding
the dish cupboards'
insides so I can paint
or transplanting the moss rose, or
weeding.
Some days
seem only for
"being" and reflecting,
and this cool mid-May day is one
of them.
