counting the minutes   

until my longed for weekend

of prayer and silence

04.27.2011

administrative

professionals day today.

I feel so special.   :-\

04.26.2011

drops of water grace

bare branches like fine crystals

nature’s bedazzler

04.25.2011

grey sea gull against

grey sky mournfully keening

out his harsh grey song

04.24.2011

a lovely Easter –  

singing, celebrating

Christ Jesus risen!

04.23.2011

ready for April

to be done.  bring on May and

her soft warm evenings.

04.22.2011

pretty daffodil

faces smiling all around,

spreading springtime cheer

04.21.2011

music and incense

signify the sanctity

God bestows through grace

04.20.2011

I love knowing that

I can turn off the alarm

and sleep in for days!

anticipating it

is almost as good as the

actual sleeping

04.19.2011

what happened to spring?

snow, sleet, wintery wind – yup,

it’s April alright  :-)

04.18.2011

my Easter lily

fills the room with its sweet

scent of life… and death.

04.17.2011

a little over

halfway there, and already

I’m flailing about

04.16.2011

Francine works magic,

taking years away with her

amazing scissors

04.15.2011

rain tapping against

my windows.   the cold wind whines.

a warm bed awaits.

04.14.2011

whitecaps on the lake –

the usually placid

Michigan turns fierce

04.13.2011

string cheese incident

a gift of bluesy jam band

and fiddle goodness

thank you, Christina!

04.12.2011

little buds growing,

swelling, finally busting

out in baby leaves

04.11.2011

I © flip-flops – my 

onomatopoetic

summer companions

04.10.2011

sultry summer air

surprises us in April

a welcome preview

04.09.2011

visibility

nearly nil; a fog horn moans

sadly far away

04.08.2011

quarter to two; no

haiku in my head.  I give

up and go to bed.

Bonus haiku:

I reminded her

of Ogden Nash.  I think it

was my made-up words.

04.07.2011

wooly fog settles

over the city like a

sad, damp, grey afghan.  

04.06.2011

all gloom and drizzle

my cuffs and ankles are damp

wet feet are a drag

04.05.2011

the cardinals call,

sparrows chirp, and grackles grack -

assorted spring love songs. 

04.04.2011

smokers just outside
dispense a concentrated
haze of nastiness

04.03.2011
jagged spikes of light

rip open the sky, spilling

hail everywhere.

04.02.2011

nature exploding,

erupting, bursting out in greens

multitudinous

04.01.2011

your shoe is untied

and spaghetti grows on trees

look – a UFO!
