first hot day

swifts careen

over a parking lot

(Playing catch-up after a weekend of guiding at the Acadia Birding Festival with little free time to post.)

Spring twilight--

girl on a skateboard sails past

smoking a cigarette.

tags Bar Harbor, haiku, skateboard, twilight

Fog bank off the harbor.

I walk by myself

past grandiose houses.

tags Bar Harbor, fog, haiku

heavy scent of lilacs

cries of gulls, nostalgia

lifting with the fog

tags Bar Harbor, fog, gull, haiku, lilac, morning, nostalgia

Balmy afternoon

fragrance of pending rain--

I get an ice cream cone.
