-----------------
Alaskan spring time
May showers bring June flowers
A month late but great!
------------------
I’ve a marmot
Digging under my wood pile
My new neighbor
-------------------------
Today was warm
But nights are getting longer
So soon, winter.
---------------------
2020
A year we’ll all remember
But not fondly.
-------------------------
Morning sunshine
A long day among the spruce
Cool evening.
--------------------
Brew day today
I blend my White Nights Stout
And wait and wait.
------------------

Two cords firewood,
Spruce, birch a little alder.
Should last till spring.
*******

A light snowfall
Continuing day and night,
Deep snow cover.

*******
Heavy rain today
Silence is quite deafening
After the deluge.
*******

The fourth day of June
The sun shines after midnight
Home in Alaska.

*******
I am reading now
The Roar of Queen Srimala
A Buddhist Sutra.

******
Snow covers the ground
Mist shrouding the distant hills
Fine October day!

******
In the north country,
May showers bring June flowers,
Anticipation!

******

Snow slid off the roof
Sakura portends Japan's spring
Ours is avalanche!
**********


The snow is slipping
Falling from sun warmed spruce boughs
Not spring yet, but close!
******

Rose skies, east and west
As dawn lights up the arctic,
Fine winter morning!
***

I had my coffee.
Next, off to the polls to vote
Time to change the world!
***

It is today here
In Japan it's tomorrow.
Were is yesterday?
***

Early Saturday.
The sun hasn't come up yet
Lighting the wood stove.
***

The sun's in my eyes
and the wind is at my back,
walking through the snow.
****
You see it yourself
Some days are warm some days cold
$cience is $ettled.
****

Brown leaves are buried
'neath a layer of white snow,
Bare branches lament.
****

Seventy eight years
I've observed the passing days
Emerge from winter.
****

Gabby Gabriel
Gave Gordy green gruesome grubs
Gord gave Gabe glum gawks.

OK, not really haiku but some days seem to start this way.
****

Green red and yellow
Leaves covered with frost crystals.
Autumn frost magic!
***
Had a frost last night
All my flowers are wilted
Autumn in August.

***

A few yellow leaves
The nights are getting longer
My firewood's stacked.

***
We've more rain today
Rain means it's spring in haiku
Endless springtime here!
***
Large trees floating past
The river is at flood stage
Nature's spring cleaning.

****
Rain in Osaka
I head to Kansai Airport
Leaving storms behind.

***
Almost deafening.
Calling through the morning mist.
A heard of ravens.
***
Early summer rain
The low clouds obscure the view
Mountains are hidden.

***
Cool rainy weather
At Takanoko Onsen
Hot soak and sauna.
***
Hooligan Ravens.
Five O'clock in the morning.
Challenging the day.
***
At Sea Mount Castle
Watching rains sweeping Seto sea
Misty memories.
***
Down by the water
Sakura in my sake
At Tanukii's shrine.

***
Light dusting of snow

Only fresh tracks I can see

Are mine and the squirrel's.

***
Bright crystal islands
Ice floating on the river
Soon all will be still.
***
Walking in birch woods
Golden leaves fall behind me
I'm leaving no tracks.

***
Rain on a tin roof

A monotonous refrain

Remember summer.
