Pretty pink blossoms
I watch you bloom, awed by joy –
blessed by your beauty.

Table napkin haikus
#1 Hot Latte
“Extra hot,” I asked,
“coconut milk, vanilla –
one sip, “ouch!” burned tongue!
#2 Rainy Wednesday
cold, damp rainy day
somewhere it’s nice and sunny –
not in Woodbury.
Woodbury, New Jersey, U.S.A.
#3 Sermon prep
scribble the Gospel
not on paper but your heart
wait for it to speak.
Table Napkin Haikus
#1 Avocado in chicken wrap
Hidden deep in lush
greenness, chunks of white chicken,
meshed in sweet goodness.
#2 Iced Vanilla Latte
Bitter at first sip
delightful ‘dulce-ness,’ glides
down my eager tongue!
#3 Coffee shop vibes
Feeling the rhythm –
the music of energy
shared humanity.
Heart song
You make my heart sing
songs of joy, gladness and bliss –
on this day of love.
Heart Haiku
My heart sees the world
full of darkness, pain and grief –
longing for healing.
Good Friday haiku
My grandma said, “hush,”
Today God is dead, be still –
Weep, lament and pray.
Heart Prayer
A haiku for the first day of National Poetry month
Streams of water flow
I watch in grateful silence,
praying with my heart.

Haiku of Trust
In stillness I sit
like an open, empty cup –
waiting to be filled.
