January

        1                                                                               

Perfect day to knit
weatherman says don’t go out
joyful Snow Day


2


Heads tucked under wings
geese sit on the frozen lake
brown pillows on ice


3

Her wondering mind
confused and miserable
walking a sad dog


4

Fog covers all things
drawing us into stillness
no wind no traffic


5

                                  A Resolution                                    
                  poetry for the New Year                   
                     write Haiku daily    
                           


6

Storm the Capitol
insurrection is here now
violent horror


Defeated man hides

as hateful war continues
in his heart of fear


Democracy stands
congress confirms a president

freedom is alive


7


In the aftermath
they said election was rigged
the nation is numb


8

Rain on dirty snow
definitely looks like March
think of Spring today


9


Virus dominates

likely worse before better
U.S. waits   masks on


 10
 

White Stone Intention
one word of many: Focus
settled Mind Body


 11
 
In the waiting room
gratitude for gift given
cornea transplant


12


By the grace of God
the love has not been in vain
I am what I am.

                        … 1 Corinthians 15:10


13


History making
the president’s impeachments
our nation survived


14


Virus dominates
Likely worse before better
U.S. waits   masks on


15


How do I write it
it’s agoraphobia
walking into fear


16


Pines sway in the breeze
scene out the window   wet snow
wait for the bright sun


17


President soon gone
Together we breath relief
Insurrection ends?

18



In the waiting room
Gratitude for gift given
Cornea Transplant


19


Happiness fills me
The air breathed is light with sun

When I write Haiku


20


Six geese on gray lake
Windy day ripples water
January sky


21


Soft, decent, classy
A just President comes forth
Inauguration



22


Past President leaves
As the constitution reads
The monuments Smile


23


Where’s Haiku today
Not on page   Not in pen
Perhaps, this is it


24


Look a brand new day
A gift and it is winter
Good sun, snow on ground


25


Depression whispers
Darkness surrounds her bleak days

Anxiety speaks


26


Virus dominates
Likely worse before better
U.S. waits   masks on


27


Virus dominates
Likely worse before better
U.S. waits   masks on


28


White Supremacy
What can survive this assault
Democracy reigns


29


We got our vaccine
Sore arms and full gratitude
Feels like joy and peace


30


Sleep overcomes me
In warm darkness Midnight comes

Our legs intertwine


31


The darkest morning ever
Rainstorm with hail expected
Stay in and cozy
