moon and star themselves
end the fast

one hundred and one haiku
another start

honey bees
pollinating the lavender
yawning cat

a flock of geese
fly into a power line
and light the night sky

grey clouds
reflected in a wet beach
seagulls

so let the rain
bounce at this bench
feet pulse tired

pre- Irene shift
doe huddles under truck
in the pelting rain

hissing tyres
on the road outside
hissing cats

detour by the public garden
to get back to the office
- late-summer flowers

***

crochet par le square
pour regagner le bureau
fleurs de fin d'été

breezy day
brings intermittent sunshine
cumulus clouds

next door's cat
in the dry patch of the garden
ours bristles

fumbling through
three currencies to pay
for a lollipop

morning commute
one shade lighter than my car
bug on the bumper

reds and yellows
appear in the hedgerow
fat blackberries

the old school closed  -
only the bees
murmuring a lesson

water drips
from lupin seedheads
weak sunlight

quick touches of open palm
faces delight

twenty years today
nuptial hiss and bliss

the movie cry freedom
on my wedding day

problems of three decades
all resolved this day

dream thoughts of Providence
wishes do come true
