Redwood Haiku

Appreciating
each day as a supreme gift,
age brings gratitude.



 Sad reminiscing
 memories of life and love--
 the old man reflects



Open the window--
        in spiriting l shall fly
to your silent heart

for marlene, inspired by the story of
Jeanne Hebuterne and Amedeo Modigliani



When he sang, the leaves
blew down to sit at his feet
and enjoy the tune

for peter
