26 November 2020 (Thanksgiving)

Thanksgiving sky

the pale potbelly

of the gibbous moon

2 June 2020 (fiddleheads)

hatch of mayflies…

we eat the last batch

of fiddleheads

5 March 2020 (breakfast)

I wrote this poem last week in response to the theme of “favorite meal,” as suggested by Tia Haynes at The Haiku Foundation’s weekly Haiku Dialogue. (Check out the many wonderful haiku other poets came up with on this topic—it will make you hungry!)

breakfast for dinner

as if we could

just start over

5 February 2020 (lemon drops)

midwinter dusk

crunching not sucking on

the lemon drops

5 September 2019 (dessert)

hazy half moon

sharing a sweet dessert

with my parents

March 5: March is the cruelest month

not really spring

binge-eating Girl Scout cookies

with low-fat milk
