Today's Haiku...and apology

Before I share today's haiku, I need to apologize for being absent from my blog yesterday. Like stuffing paper into the chinks of a drafty stone wall, I try to fit things that are important to me into each day. Keeping my blog updated is one of those important things. It's just that some days have too many drafts in my wall and I can not tend to each one.

In that light, a message of hope:


rowboats beached

atop grassy dunes

tide is near

Today's Haiku

Today's Haiku

swirling wind

gushes through bare trees

ocean swells

Haiku for Today

wrinkled face

deeply etched wisdom
