31 August 2022 (hazy sun)

hazy sun . . .

the crack of a grasshopper

at the boy’s feet

30 August 2022 (raucous)

raucous passengers

aboard the last ferry

laughing gulls

29 August 2022 (new moon)

new moon

shorebirds follow

the bay’s curve

28 August 2022 (shakuhachi)

Also from Wild Graces yesterday…

a shakuhachi

waits on the table

morning crickets

27 August 2022 (tip top)

Written as part of Jeff Hoagland’s “Flower Power” workshop today at Wild Graces, an annual haiku gathering in Deerfield, NH:

at the tip-top

of the ironweed

fritillary

26 August 2022 (late)

late summer

median weeds hide

more roadkill

25 August 2022 (peaches)

all the ripe peaches

stolen from the tree

spill of moonlight

24 August 2022 (osprey)

an osprey’s cries

pierce the morning fog

late summer blues

23 August 2022 (sunset)

sunset glow . . .

a line of waxwings

fills a bare branch

Cedar Waxwings

22 August 2022 (sun through fog)

sun through fog . . .

picking wild rose hips

for grandma’s jam

21 August 2022 (gulls)

dry well . . .

young gulls squabble over

fallen apples
