Not sadness... a remembrance, as we step toward the New Year.

__12/31/11... Thanks, friends, quickly home from our -cold- pond just to say hello... and wish you all a Happy New Year!
See you on 1-2-12. 


new frost
on these headstones
old names

Yesterday morning, as a very few snow flakes seemed to float through our 'back-space' trees, three deer were at play. Dryads.


white tails
frolic in this misty snow
free minds

My Best Christmas Wishes to you ALL!  Here a rare punctuation mark. _m 


season's change
as the cold deepens
snow fall

The services: whomever, whenever... wherever they may be.


doves gather
while hearts of like hope speak
a bell rings 

A new direction... found.


herring gull
circles in this snowfall
sun seeps

__This haiku was contributed to, and seen in the anthology,  "One Thousand Cranes" in 2009; it was scribbled during the winter of 2007.


snow fills
this cabins shattered bones
a broken tea cup

__Let's step forward, by stepping back. This, an older haiku of mine, as seen within the pages of the Wonder Haiku World's fine,  primier anthology... "Spasms of Light."


listen
among the silent flowers
a butterfly

This...  is an echo I recently left at a friends blog; I think, here, the implied time is that 'eternal' season. _m


an owl counts
when the moon catches a star
this traveler
