Cindy

traditionally inspired haikus, hopefully everyday! Inspired by living near the ocean, an overgrown garden, a goofy pug, and good coffee.

taped up with threadbare cloud

bends even without the breeze
nods to the ocean

of springtime’s purple trends

splintering the nest

after midnight
the rain is asking
to be let back in

hospital bed
her dreamy “I love you”s
warm me

hospital meetup
we wonder about last night
did it rain?

shortcuts through the labyrint
of new lavender

weeks I’ve been gone
presumes the feral cat
yowling at the door

fluffed feathers
a juvenile hawk upon
Spanish roof tiles

we barely
glance at one another

leans down to sift
out a planet
