Some Haiku, Written
in the Early Light of Day,
Sitting and Thinking
- Sitting in my chair
wind making leaves dance outside
tea and a good book - Patter of raindrops
outside. The smell of coffee
brewing. Peaceful dawn. - The first breath of Fall
stirs the leaves in the morning
light. Late August dawn. - I get up early
in the morning, drink two cups
of coffee, and read. - Little rituals:
a sniff of air, glimpse the stars,
going up to bed.
