Haiku for every day of November 2023

Spinal stenosis

Michael could not stop the pain

Refused the morphine

On a long S curve

Journey through life and more life

Smoothly into death

 

November 3

Bills are coming due

Calamity coming soon

When you sew the wind …

Celtic festival

Boys and girls tossing cabers

Bagpipes, step dancing!

great owl’s yellow eyes

wide, unblinking, holds my gaze

just one bird of prey

And then he’s bigger than that!

ALWAYS surprises
