Shoal

stricken

between each wave

a new truth

Fishing Haiku

old trout

belly to belly

with the sun

Unmoored

unmoored
on a winter sea
words form
and fall
in waves

(even so)

I have been

that boat -

half in

and out

trailing

seaweed

(even so)

that boat

is one

slick

penitent

Small Rivers

small rivers
inland

relent-

less

pilgrims

windswept

even
the white
caps
are
tiny

Tsunami Gogyohka

like an oyster

plucked

from the sea

inside

a tiny tsunami

To Itself - Gogyohka

and so
all out of words
I leave
the sea
to itself

Old Painter Haiku

what’s new
the old painter
at sea

Spring Rain Haiku

sudden squall
the pavement slick
with worms

One-line Haiku

all week rain unwinding fiddleheads

take care worms!
all-day rain leaves
me careless

tax day
squashing worms
after rain
