857. Thai Aroma

rice cooker —
the smell of coconut
as i lift the lid

[Notes]

856. Pock Marked

november day...
the rain leaves dimples
in the snow

[Notes]

855. Infused

ceramic cup...
green tea infused
with hot water

[Notes]

854. Warm and Cozy

freezing day...
above the beaver house
a puff of steam

[Notes]

853. So Soon Gone

pile of rubble...
a house stood there
only yesterday

[Notes]

852. Break-through

frosty sunrise —
the crunching sound of ice
in an alley puddle

[Notes]

851. One With

late afternoon...
a drop on the icicle
almost drips off

[Notes]

850. Reaching Out

leafless twigs...
their limit reached
for the year

[Notes]

219. Rush Hour

a full elevator
stops on every floor...
no one gets off

[This haiku was written in October, 2005 and was recently re-written.]

[Notes]

849. Alley

tire tracks
in slush...a boy adds
boot prints
