it’s a lovely day
gray if dull by promising
should the heart select
two enormous birds
predators of tan and brown
over the perished
nature doesn’t judge
often the quake or flood by
our instigation
amoral nature
save that flora and fauna
anywhere might weep
participation
nature allies death with life
relents the day’s night
creative life calls
work and play quotidian
sponsor something more
progress of haiku
no more than eased scenes required
nature bears wisdom

a kind of progress beginning with looking outside (each should stand on its own as well)

God’s pretty
pretty
green
evergreen
bright light the right direction
angled
just so
for small delight
in loving appreciation
late winter
presaging spring

sun is over snow
like the paradox of doubt
with faith for healing

barely green out there
gray like an expectation

reading in by white
story that incarnadines
winter thriller day

(for some a kind of day off due to snow, i.e., snow day, taken with relief—off and it doesn’t look so bad, there should be rising temperatures; day for outside play or inside read)

from Japan a cherry gift
lark but heavy for command
rose George Washington
for his birthday on 22 February

the mouse visiting
hello on field-gray haunches
my cat watched then dozed

(clearly, the image is not of a field mouse, though what’s decpicted is kind of nostalgic for me; you’ll have to imagine a field mouse, while I remember the one that came to call as well as the mouse whose house I visited once a week)
a series of haiku in which nature is partnered with religion
devotion has it
we should love the Earth as God
has made all wondrous
breathing in and out
some days it’s hard for nature
thick by pollution
white and pink blossoms
Japan gives us cherry trees
to bloom in D.C.
shall the Earth give back
opens not what we deserve
receiving seasons
all the problems here
co-op of virtue and fall
first to third chapters
praying goes to God
not thought but by intention
doubt also received
responding to Claudius in Hamlet at 3.3.97-98
