Mist

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
Mist on the mountain—
a blackbird seeking its nest
starts to go astray.

How

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
How many mountains
does it take to keep a cloud
from falling to earth?

a hidden dove starts cooing—

Song

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
They tell the story
of how, on distant mountains,
one dove left her song.

Distant

Peering through a palo verde tree, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Winter afternoon—
so distant are the mountains
I cannot see them.

Way

On the shore of Upper Lake Mary, Coconino National Forest, Arizona
ancient fir forests
or lakes high in the mountains—
the way chooses me

Haiku My Heart

Yavapai County, Arizona
Under ice-blue skies,
the scrub-oak-shrouded mountains
keep time with the moon.

Lovers of small words and small poems usually gather each Friday at Recuerda Mi Corazon to share their haiku. Because Rebecca is in San Miguel de Allende today and next Friday, this will be our gathering place. Welcome!
