Daily Haiku, February 8, 2019

The sun flees the gloom,
triumphantly splashing light
on trees as she sinks.

Daily Haiku, February 4, 2019

This winter morning,
I felt spring’s soft exhale while
stirring in her sleep.

Daily Haiku, February 3, 2019

The surf spreads its foam
lovingly, like a blanket.
Then snatches it back.

Daily Haiku, February 2, 2019

When the path steepens,
I’ll cradle your dreams so that
you can use both hands

Daily Haiku, February 1, 2019

When concentrating,
hours tumble by unnoticed.
I look up, startled.

Daily Haiku, January 31, 2019

This cold turns brooks black, /
adds haste to my walking legs, /
and explodes the stars.

Daily Haiku, January 30, 2019

We were fans back when /
her music sang from cassettes /
worn thin by our love. /

Posted on January 30, 2019January 30, 2019

Daily Haiku, January 29, 2019

Weak flesh coerced by dogs /
into the cold day. Inhale. /
Suddenly grateful. /

Mice flee rustling leaves.

Horizon deep red /
bleached to a shallow pink when /
seen through a phone’s lens

Posted on January 28, 2019January 28, 2019

Daily Haiku, January 27, 2019

Sand deepens my steps /
As dusk’s eyelids close softly /
Obscuring footprints

A hearth is warmer /
with a dog or two in front /
for the heart thaws, too.

Illustrated dragon haiku

One of my daily haiku from 1/21/19

this wind dragon, breathing ice
buffeting the house.

Posted on January 27, 2019January 27, 2019

Daily Haiku, January 26, 2019

Envy the dog’s rest, /
sprawled, limp with abandon, flat /
across my hearth rug /

Posted on January 26, 2019January 26, 2019

Cracked empty acorns  /
crunch. Twig crackle punctuates. /
Walking under oaks.

Posted on January 25, 2019January 25, 2019

Daily Haiku, January 24, 2019

Planks of scrap wood span /
boot-printed slick mud. /
I hop to the door. /

Daily Haiku, January 23, 2019

News of your son’s death /
grips me with how much time’s passed /
since we daily talked /

Posted on January 23, 2019January 24, 2019

Daily Haiku, January 22, 3019

Damp, sullen, firewood, /
smoldering, rebukes the flame /
though coaxed with kindling /

Posted on January 22, 2019January 21, 2019

Daily Haiku, January 21, 2019

The door resists as /
I venture out to get wood. /
The cold pushes back

Posted on January 21, 2019January 22, 2019

Daily haikus, January 20, 2019


We paused at the bridge. /
The brook, storm drunk, careened by /
jostling its banks


and


Twisted blueberry /
swathed in lichen’s pale glow and /
memories of fruit

Posted on January 20, 2019January 21, 2019

Daily Haiku, January 19, 2019

Plonk, plunk, ka-plonk. Tossed, /
they thwak, tumble, settle, /
growing my wood pile.

Whisper snow rattles /
pressing low the chimney smoke /
to spice its soft kiss

Posted on January 19, 2019January 21, 2019

A skeletal woods /

A new log splitter /
All assembled and ready! /
Push start. Nothing runs.

I poked my own eye /
while putting on my glasses. /
It was the left one.

Posted on January 15, 2019January 21, 2019

Daily Haiku, January 14, 2019

The clock pulls my gaze. /
Again. Again. Is it still /
too early for bed? /

Posted on January 14, 2019January 21, 2019

Daily Haiku, January 13, 2019

The vacuum rumbles /
The dogs bark and dart and nip /
Fighting their dragon /

My hand’s cold but your palm’s warm
Pair of swans fly by

One thing I love about cold, raw, wet days is the excuse to light a fire in the morning. It makes the house so cozy! The dogs love it too. 💕💕

What a wonderful six days I had traveling from Portland Maine to Brooklyn New York to visit my children. I am replete with experiences from the quintessential Maine salvage warehouse to contemporary art shows in Manhattan - all with the joy of connecting with my kids. 💕💕💕

We have sold all of the eyes in the shop! It is past time to start a new batch. I poured a plaster mold of the original carvings that I did so that I can make multiples. I press clay into the mold, stamp them, and inset the high fire wire in the back at this stage so that a hanging wire can be strung after they are fired. After they are pried out of the mold, I trim them and clean them up and sometimes add to them.

The last evening of August, Bill and I drove the 30 minutes to Oak Bluffs after dinner. We purchased ice cream and then walked out Circuit Ave extension beside the sun setting waters, looping around to the new walkway and out to the end of the fishing pier. It was beautiful. And then we saw the joyful music of Sol y canto. An altogether lovely night!
