16 February 2021 (cardinal)

sleet turning to rain

a cardinal begins

to sing

15 February 2021 (snow)

the first few flakes . . .

part of me curls up

in a deer yard

14 February 2021 (Zoom)

Zoom haiku meeting

the juxtapositions

of all the faces

13 February 2021 (masks)

masked walk

I mistake my niece’s eyes

for my sister’s

12 February 2021 (bark)

bleak midwinter

a strip of birch bark

flaps in the wind

11 February 2021 (pIcnic table)

a picnic table

under fresh snow

everything we want

10 February 2021 (forsythia)

the sun rising

a little more to the south. . .

forced forsythia

9 February 2021 (snow)

falling snow

the only one

awake

8 February 2021 (lichen)

lichen-covered branches . . .

the expanding blooms

of her sleeve tattoo

7 February 2021 (jay)

our masked walk

a blue jay calls out

with a hawk’s voice

6 February 2021 (starfish)

low winter clouds

every eider comes up

with a starfish
