haiku – Selected haiku

9 February 2021

do the geese regret
returning to Virginia?
it’s cold this winter

check out this good boy;
great at cleaning (by eating),
baying at neighbors

unimpressed by snow,
tortoiseshell cat serves looks cold-
-er than winter storm

suspicious and then
disappointed by our wet
offering, Kyp left

that’s not a gargoyle
on the china cabinet:
he loves wet food; purrs

months-old kefir must
transit stronger plumbing than
we mortals possess

walked into lake
zero times, and into trees
only once. success!

walking club steps out
again, this time towards great
gelato, sorbet

Robert Simon, with
offerings? presents? do not
know why they are there

teacher, sous chef, friend,
plywood inspector checking
my cuts. what a dad!
