#red

gloomy afternoon---
a red haired woman
smiles at me

#silence

Sunday's silence---
a squirrel slowly
walks down the fire escape

#rose

Saturday night---
she waves goodbye
with her red rose

#fog

a new crack
in the window glass---
morning fog

#poem

after school---
she reads
a poem to her son

#lights

early morning---
I turn on the lights
to write a haiku

#sunset

a soldier says goodbye
on his way back to Iraq---
sunset

#beautiful

beautiful morning---
I just ignore
the cold wind

#snow

snow flurries
falling from blue sky---
yesterday was summer

#sunrise

he still puts
catchup on his eggs---
sunrise

#general

at a general statue---
a dog salutes
by raising its leg

#pretends

morning rush---
she pretends
not to see me

#corn

snacking on
blue corn chips---
moonless night

#static

folding laundry---
the music
has too much static
