a dory adrift

in a sea of daisies

onshore breeze

roses wet with fog . . .

a fishing boat rumbles

out of the harbor

passing downpour

a tanker’s long horn blasts

somewhere up the bay

Joined noted haiku poet and teacher Bruce Ross et al on a ginko (group haiku outing) on Mt. Battie this fine morning. 

the wakes of boats

punctuating the bay

with hyphens

harbor seals

neither here nor there

island crossing

May 21: Return from the island

smooth crossing
a white butterfly
four miles out to sea

October 28: Ferry ride

It’s amazing—

the human capacity

for staring out to sea.

boats moving through

the mountain's shadow

Lightkeeper's house--

on calm seas

imagining the storm surge.

January 7: On the bay

We went fishing today on Florida Bay, heading out from Islamorada and ending up in a channel just off Flamingo in the Everglades. The morning began with fog and chop, but within a few hours the water was smooth and clear, enabling us to see how shallow it was. The flats teemed with birds, from sandpipers and egrets to pelicans and the deliciously hot pink Roseate Spoonbills.

 

Tropical mirage:

fishing in a glassy sea,

pink birds flying past.
