A Lost Photo Returned

Who is that young man?

What did he do with his life?

Look in the mirror.

Changing Season

Among the trees,
One red leaf among the green
Longing for Fall.

Indigestion

Pain in the belly,
Was it something I just ate?
Maybe, maybe not.

Painful Soul

Living with regrets,
Decisions made long ago --
Can't forgive herself.

Unhappy in Love

Feeling disrespected
Because I forgot to ask --
No slack for old men.

Big Bird

Hiking at Smith Rock,

Looked up -- Saw a bald eagle

Perched in a dead tree.

Hosmer Lake

Up Century Drive

And around Mt. Bachelor

To canoe the lake.

25 Years Later

Time to celebrate --
Heading over the mountains
On the way to Bend.

The Doc

Watching Doc Martin,
A most unlikeable guy
Who you want to like.

Autumn (In Progress)

Outside my window
leaves turning orange and red --
Fall begins Friday.

Old Man's Project*

Why did he do it?
"The pride of accomplishment."
By himself -- no help.

* Gunnar's Growlery

Her Choice (Her Destiny?)

A pizza a day
Transforms a beauty to fat,
Right before our eyes.

Two Years (and Still Hopping)

Black and white rabbit,
A survivor in the wild,
Showed up this morning.

Night List

"Sweet darling," she said
In the middle of the night,
"Don't forget to do ...."

Another Hint of Fall

A cool morning walk
to my favorite cafe --
Hot coffee awaits.

Fond Memory

Eating a pizza,
reminds me of high school days,
Old friends come to mind.

Morning Sounds

Walking out the door,
I hear geese honking above--
A "V" headed south.

Hints of Fall

From our third floor room,
overlooking the tree tops,
Leaves are turning red.

A New Day

It's the day after
the tenth anniversary--
No more "Ground Zero."

Ten Years Ago

As the tower fell
My heart broke open with tears.
I watched and I wept.

Today

New tower rising,
Wars started, trillions spent --
The terrorists won.

Leadership?

The Presidents' wars 
Kill and maim our young people.
Will that ever change?

The Congress bickers
While people lack food and work.
Will that ever change?

In My Waking Dream ....

She danced before me
in a silver bikini,
Much to my delight.

"Comment" *

The pitter-patter
comes from the little critters
Racing on the roof.

*  A "play" on Gunnar Berg's haiku on Facebook

Mother

Writing reflections
about the life of my mom,
Share her legacy.

Listening to Heartwood Hotel

Rosalie Sorrels
speaking about her mother
Brings tears to my eyes.

Weather Weirdness

September surprise --
a week of ninety degrees
And above -- heat wave!

Haze

Smoke from forest fires
filled the valley sky last night,
Closed all the windows.

Caught Up

Updated the blog
With my haiku's from last month,
Call this a poem?

Tired of "It"

Feel a bit better,
Eating lots of chicken soup,
Ready to be well!

Medical Opinion

Went to the doctor
to get a diagnosis,
Best guess -- a virus.
