the warmth of daylight
crocuses heralding spring
now songbirds slumber
Crocuses in Spring
Category: Poetry
A Spring Walk
suburban sunlight
neighbors socially distant
feeling springtime’s close
A Cold Near Spring Breeze: Tonight’s Haiku
the wind blowing cold
painful to fingers and face
sun upon the mountains
Ah, Cherry Blossoms!
sunlight’s downward path
as I wander past the fears
ah, cherry blossoms!
Tonight’s Haiku: Eating Sunlight
March 10, 2020: Cherry Blossoms
more sunlight each day
and the grace of warmer days
cherry blossoms bloom
Near Spring Haiku
Daffodils: Tonight’s Haiku
the daffodils’ gaze
dancing on the near-spring breeze
while the jays chatter
A Daylight Savings Time Haiku
sunlight to the east
springtime deceiving our clocks
the air, cold and dry
Another step closer to spring.
The Past, The Future, Focus

Met a really cool guy today. A former Navy nuclear power program sailor, just like me. Though he is quite a bit younger.
Swapped stories of our respective experiences, which I enjoyed. Yet I often worry in those moments that I’ll become like the subject of Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”, a relic, trapped in the past. Grave fate, for me, at least.
