late light the glowing constellations of viburnum blossoms

31 May 2023 (morning coffee)

morning coffee . . .

we open a window

to the grosbeak’s song

heat index

the unexpected orange

of a neighbor’s azalea

29 May 2023 (along the path)

along the path

to an old cemetery

scent of lilacs

28 May 2023 (first bird)

first bird of the morning evening grosbeak

27 May 2023 (sunset)

sunset chill

the ghost of a pheasant

glides down the trail

26 May 2023 (latte heart)

swirl of a latte heart . . .

the morning breeze

carrying birdsong

25 May 2023 (after work)

after-work cocktail . . .

a swirl of swifts funnels

down a chimney

24 May 2023 (narrow way)

the narrow path

to the best trout hole . . .

marsh marigolds

23 May 2023 (white lilacs)

white lilacs without scent . . .

smoke from distant wildfires

dims the sun

22 May 2023 - ISLAND is here!

ISLAND is here! This is my first full-length and only non-virtual haiku collection, published by Red Moon Press. I’m really proud of this collection of haiku (and a few haibun) inspired by Maine islands—primarily Monhegan—where I’ve spent time. (The cover image is used with permission from the Monhegan Museum of Art & History, where I will be working this summer.) If you’re interested in a copy, you may order directly from me; information on how to do so is available on my Books page. Or you may order it from Red Moon Press, which also offers many other fine haiku collections. It will also be available at the Lupine Gallery on Monhegan Island and Gulf of Maine Books in Brunswick, ME.
