Haikuwrimo Feb2017

28
signs of spring
longer evenings
and shedding horses

27
still day
quiet house
cats asleep

26
old bridle
another piece
replaced

25
slow falling snow
a blanket
silencing the street

24
tiny tiny tan moth
blends into the floor
baffling cats

23
February fire season
I worry
what August will be like


22 for Amy
gnarled apple tree
bent by the snow
of a hundred years

21
clouds slowly climbing
the mountain


20
midnight thunder-
kitten chasing her tail
in the bathtub


19
February haiku
should be about snow
not grass fires and short sleeves


18
once a Ute winter camp
our hiking trail
overlooks the cement plant


17
smell of bacon lingers
even the next day
I am hungry


16
winter rose bush
nothing but thorns
a windblown shirt blooms

15
after evacuation
time to go home-
my horse won't leave his new friend


14
dancing in the kitchen
to rediscovered song
funky funky


13
jeans still smell like smoke
once more
through the wash

12
side by side
dressage show horses
and shaggy backyard donkeys


11
last check on the empty barn
aisle full of debris
windblown or left behind


10
smoke on the air
all traffic stopped
except horse trailers


9
early-morning phone call
no need for coffee
instantly wide awake

8
cat on my lap
dog at my feet
work at home day

7
over the road
an arch
of wheeling starlings

6
blue spruce
outside window
hides a blue jay

5
Super Bowl Day
empty hiking trails
peaceful wandering

4
dusty barn
reminds my sore throat
it's time to cough again

3
cat lurking
dark shadow
amongst the books

2
a crack in the ice
a slice of river
flowing by


1
ice-coated grass
silver over gold
