One of Twelve?

Last day of the month:
Just one more haiku to write
... until tomorrow.

Interrupted Sleep

Awake about three
feeling like I need to pee.
Make this rhyme with glee.

Party Time

Went to a party,
Her birthday is same as mine.
Aquarian twins.

A Good Day to Be Alive

The day of my birth
in Minnesota winter,
Happy Birthday Todd!

Breakfast Moment

An orange-pink glow
on the eastern horizon,
Sunrise on the way.

Susan Retires

At our last meeting
we encircle her with love,
Blessing her new life.

The Wait

In the dark of night
Lying awake with the stars,
waiting for the light.

Favorite Day

On Sunday mornings
Some time for intimacy,
Otherwise, surprise!

Goodbye Arizona

Flying home again
Leaving the land of the sun.
Back to Oregon.

Wisdom Worth Remembering

Embrace resistance:
Just agree with it quickly
Then you can move on.

Love's Sweet Surprises

Watching her undress
is one of life's little joys,
Revealing beauty.

Life's Little Surprises

Desert oasis,
Aqua Caliente Park,
Unknown Tucson gem.

New Food Experience

Eating pork belly
after a mixed green salad.
Time for gelato!



Tucson's Best?

Noisy restaurant,
Two hundred people eating
Cafe Poco Cosa feast.

(Miss) Understanding?

You don't understand!
She's doing all that she can.
That's what we all do.

Sound of the Morning

Gila woodpecker
chirping outside our window.
Breakfast time, wake up!

Arizona Sunset

The sun's ochre glow
Bathes the western horizon
As birds fly to nest.

More Wisdom Worth Remembering

Lets open our hearts,

Celebrate community!
Conflicts melt away.

Who Laughed?

A comedian:
Is that what God truly is? 
The Cosmic Joker.

Poetic Wisdom

Speaking poetry
rather than "reading" poems
Connects heart and voice.

College Dream

Walking on campus
I lost the group I came with,
Never to be found.

Wide Awake

Awake in my bed
In the middle of the night,
When will sleep return?

Poetic Dream

Dreamt of Robert Bly,
Met him on the street last night,
Writing a poem.

What are you doing
on Saturday night I asked ...
Writing a poem.

Came to celebrate
Bill Stafford's birthday, he said,
Writing a poem.

So, read your poem
I said, share it with us now!
So that's what I did.

Happy Pasta Birthday!

Penne parmesan
Eaten at a birthday lunch,
Salad on the side.

What's in a Name

Strange introduction:
I'm Brooke and he is Salmon.
No wonder we laugh!
