__The fragment, gas prices, simply points back to the true meaning of life... living. Gas prices seem, and are, unimportant.
__Best wishes to the people of our South, and to their speedy recovery from the tornadoes, and these storms' devistation.   _m


winds swirl
lives have flown away
gas prices

Ahh, the birds... wee humor here ? _m


herring gulls
ride the on-shore winds
a duck

__The Easter Egg, I see as a symbol of... birth, life, and rebirth; friends, I trust Easter has presented that happy source of renewal to you all.

the birth
in this mornings sun
new leaves

Sometimes,  it seems you should never have tried to find the source of your thoughts.

swim upstream
to find your minds core
rains end

Such a friendly morning's... color!

goldfinches
in the morning sun
forsythia

this candles cold shadow
a match

__Yesterday our granddaughter Maya, now in her ninth year, secretly left this note for me to find. With pride, I post it for her; her school teacher had explained haiku to her class. The found note:

"Pa-Pa this is for you"

very nice to have
smells like spring time all the time
like a bird singing

__Maya

Gosh, it was just one night!

empty blankets
from dreams of her last touch
I awake

Another old scribble. Not to worry, the bird escapes; smiles, nature at work!

this robin
tugs the caving earth worm
a cat creeps

An old scribble... spring 2006.

greener foothills
as when life was new
the same blue-jays

Baseball... has begun!

bases out
the lines are drawn
popcorn
