A feeling of pride,
admiring your collection;
the dead butterflies.

For Emma
Today would be Emma’s 16th Birthday.
When Emma died in June last year, well, I don’t think I have felt anything worse. I have lost my Brother, one of my Uncles, and my Father; however, if I had a child, I think losing Emma would be like losing a child.
Also, we had to put her to sleep, which hurts your heart like nothing else.
Emma will always be a part of our lives.
I wrote a Haiku for Emma. She was always trying to leave us when we would come home, so we had to arrive through the garage.
A paw on the glass
The key turns, open the lock
A pouncing welcome
Haiku: Grey Day
a thing of beauty
sitting in the grey watching
the day drift away
4 Haikus: Between Spring and Summer
A breath of autumn.
Summer, Springtime, and Autumn;
Seasons in one day.
Gooseflesh on my skin
Beside my open window
Autumn in Summer
Pen to my paper
Writing words on many trees
Nature closing in
Perfume from outside
No flowers blooming in sight
A whiff of nature
Haiku: Remember that place
Remember that place?
A faded wish we made long
ago in the fog.
Haiku: Soft Heart
To wish for a love
Someone kind to a soft heart
I talk to the trees
Haiku: The Oud
Sounds of the city,
drums and an oud play a song
a wonderful day
Haiku: Impermanence
We are beginning
and ending lost in this dance
of impermanence
Haiku: Lands
My soul calls me back
A traveller’s wish for the
lands of ancestors
Haiku: Still Lake
a still lake morning
a tea, and coffee for one
yelling at the lake
