Haiku Moment: barefoot

toes and roots dig deep

garden girl searches, enjoys;

dines on spring color

barefoot, bare-root seek

connect with God’s fertile earth

nourishment for girl and plant

Haiku Moment: survey my catdom

thinking kitty thoughts

lo! who goes there? it’s all mine;

be gone, trespasser

survey my catdom

fleece regalia is just right,

the queen on her throne

Haiku Moment: land, hop, walk

land, pause, freeze, and look

what’s a bird to do? can’t move

winter’s sticky tape

hop, hop, hop-three jumps

and you are there, discover

snowy hidden treats

different bird tracks;

walk, waltz, snoop: toes in, toes out

winter hides the food


land, hop, walk

Haiku Moment: drafty
