Raven’s Gaze

And raven spies me

This face gazing from the stone 

An ancient presence 

A Haiku for Cicero 

My dear Cicero
The glorious written word
Delights my soul, too


Seen outside Bellingham’s Village Books.

Summer’s Evening 


In the park’s silence
Evening’s calmness filling it
Summer’s light fading

This Past Weekend

Step away from “life”

And mania’s strange comfort

Learn what is worthwhile

A View to the West 

Night’s rest is now done
To the west, sunlight, water
Cold, deep, cruel

The Drive Of Martial Arts 

Martial arts drives me 

Pushing me past the limits 

My mind imposes

A Morning Haiku 


The night is now done
Morning clouds hiding the sky
Now it’s time to move

Good morning! I hope your day exceeds all your hopes and dreams.
