Interests
Bear Creek haiku has featured me on their blog:
[link]

And here is my feature in case the link's no fun.

And!  Candi Cooper-Towler!  (it just doesn't get any better than this!)  (Well, possibly with ice cream) -


herd of
dry leaves
clattering by

having bought the tombstone
we sit in the car-
a dragonfly hovers

my father's grave-
black branches reach up
frosted with moonlight

Candi Cooper-Towler was born in Boulder City, Nevada and now lives in Boulder County, Colorado.  She shares her life with her novelist husband, two black cats, a dog and a horse.  Hobbies beyond haiku include hiking, horseback archery, dog agility, and video gaming.  Her main goals in life are to own a house with a turret, and get daydreaming accepted as an Olympic sport.

Hangover
just before dawn
the hunchbacked moon
limps home


Onomea Bay
locals climb the fence-
we are content
with the rocky beach

a cat's balance-
if you stop petting me
I'll fall

cats in the hall
shifting to find
last afternoon light

along the driveway
brown puffed doves
decorate bare branches

bloody knuckles
but the toilet works

cat inside
a paper bag
cat on top

shopping
none of my scribbles
match the wine labels


(I've two most favorites:)

I want to tell you
this year
I kept my roses alive


I don't want to go anywhere
well maybe
ice cream

ice cream - am now on the better side of a so-called 'crud' that's in our area (sinus/respiratory stuff) - it's almost time to choose which ice cream flavor is appropriate for a well-being celebration (might possibly be necessary to experiment with at least three flavors)

You know what?  The above poetry has helped!  Thank you, Anne, thank you, Candi!
