wintry night

cold wintry night

a small dog on the sidewalk

shivering in the chill

 

 

buying blankets

looking for abandoned animals

waiting to cover them

midlife crisis…haiku

midlife crisis

thoughtful nights

old age beckoning

no hiding old age

grey hair peeping

from under the fashion colour

can’t hide old age

ruination

 beauty unsurpassed 

not much of a gift

more of a ruination

 

a mindful moment

faded mornings

children huddling to school

a mindful moment

it’s the loneliness

age doesn’t scare me

but the loneliness it entails

fills me with fear

airplane poetry

sitting in an airplane

looking at the fleeting clouds

wanting to write a haiku
