The lake is there,
just over the hill. Our view is
stolen by lilacs.
View from our living room window. In the winter, we can see the lake. Just barely. Darn lilacs.

There on the hillside
A puddle of brilliant light
Sun broken through clouds
haiku- winter night February 12, 2019
Silent winter night
Snow falling peacefully ’til
the plough comes scraping.
haiku- 100th anniversary of WW1 end November 11, 2018
The guns fell silent
one hundred years ago, but
it didn’t end all war.
.
Mired in mud and blood
patriotism butchered
a generation.
.
If only those
recruitment posters were true
and their lives bought us peace.
poem- work party October 23, 2018
Squirrel boss curses
clumsy workers as chestnuts
clatter past branches.

haiku-still March 12, 2018
Diva Winter grips
her sequined white cloak. Clinging,
while we wish for Spring.
haiku-dream March 26, 2016
Down the hall, I hear
the soft woofing of a dreaming dog,
but no dogs are here.
.
Is someone gleefully
chasing dream rabbits
at our B and B?
.
True story. Â (Thin walls).
