Holidays all done,
Save two in one, Old Christmas
With Epiphany.

Deer in the snow haiku

Treelined pasture by Bruce Stambaugh
Where the young deer played.

Where the snow covered
pasture wedged into the woods,
the yearlings frolicked.

Total eclipse haiku

Take a nap today.
A total lunar eclipse
in the late night sky.

Amish sledding haiku

Amish farm in snow by Bruce Stambaugh
The fresh blanket of snow made perfect sledding conditions for children on this Amish farm.

The boy and the girl
took turns sliding down the hill
in a coal shovel.

Autumn pond

Fall pond (for Bruce Stambaugh)

Fallen leaves, brown reeds,
Floating on the black water,
lilly pads yet green.

Quaking aspen haiku

Against lazy clouds
and sapphire sky, emeralds
silently quiver.

Morning watch

The young red-tailed hawk
perched upon the shocked sheaves
in the morning mist preying for breakfast.

Amish air conditioner

Queen Anne’s Lace bloom pinned
between black bonnet and golden hair,
light blue dress hiked to her knees,
the poised and carefree Amish girl pedaled
down the road, her two-wheeled air conditioning
the only practical escape from the oppressive heat.

Ohio weather haiku

Sun, clouds, wind, rain, hail,
tornadoes, snow, flooding, too.
Tomorrow? Who knows?
