a daily haiku but, oh
well, better than none

Chill in the air has
settled into my fingers,
typing is challenged

After the absence,
she sauntered into the room
to say “Hi, I’m back.”

Dainty branches wear
lacy snow mittens — they wave —
Good morning, Village.

I hear the footfalls
clump clump clump up wooden stairs
my coffee’s arrived

The salmon’s cooking —
Maple-syrup mustard glaze —
A heavenly smell.

My flu knows no bounds.
I wheeze, cough, and blow my nose—
the flu trilogy.

The rain pocks the snow,
Ice and slush mix in puddles —
The bleak midwinter.

Lone goose overhead
Sky leaden with hints of cream
Snow later today

Dawn lights the pink wall
Apple tree limbs cast shadows
Illusion of warmth
