1.

winter rain-
an old pot fills
with moonlight


2.

sunrise...
birdsong falling
from the mountain


3.

just in time
for the newborn-
snow flurries!


4.

gang signs
on the old church door...
winter deepens


5.

stillness...
a cloud
of white breath


6.

deep
in the raven's cry-
southern drawl


7.

midnight walk-
      between each star
the cosmos


8.

resting awhile
on Issa's death poem-
the fly


9.

morning thaw-
the bulldog's growl
softens


10.

loneliness...
leek soup cold
in the crock pot


11.

crows
becoming
dusk


12.

one cloud
the shade of mango-
winter's end?


13.

begging
in her native tongue...
day moon


14

noon rain-
children pour
from the school bus


15.

each strand  of cobweb  white dew


16.

smothering
the prayer candle-
evening fog


17.

my last dollar...
a scrap of daylight
on the table


18.

thunder!
one small face
at the window


19.

stretching between seasons    earthworm


20.

gathering
the prisoners-
winter rainbow


21.

starry night
in the birdbath
a handful of coins


22.

in the dojo
a punching bag
swings


23.

at the feet
of Lord Ganesha...
a little frost


24.

into winter
I carry a plum
from Chile

24(b)

talk of spring
in the compost
melon seeds


25.

without my glasses
late snow-
flying ants!

25(b)

nothing to give
the beggar
thanks me still


26.

rain cloud-
the sparrow swells
with song


27.

shadow boxing...
the fighting fish circles
his plastic bowl

27(b)

wandering this poem nude


28.

haiku
one fragrance
white tea
