-----------------
Alaskan spring time
May showers bring June flowers
A month late but great!
------------------
I’ve a marmot
Digging under my wood pile
My new neighbor
-------------------------
Today was warm
But nights are getting longer
So soon, winter.
---------------------
2020
A year we’ll all remember
But not fondly.
-------------------------
Morning sunshine
A long day among the spruce
Cool evening.
--------------------
Brew day today
I blend my White Nights Stout
And wait and wait.
------------------
Two cords firewood,
Spruce, birch a little alder.
Should last till spring.
*******
A light snowfall
Continuing day and night,
Deep snow cover.
*******
Heavy rain today
Silence is quite deafening
After the deluge.
*******
The fourth day of June
The sun shines after midnight
Home in Alaska.
*******
I am reading now
The Roar of Queen Srimala
A Buddhist Sutra.
******
Snow covers the ground
Mist shrouding the distant hills
Fine October day!
******
In the north country,
May showers bring June flowers,
Anticipation!
******
Snow slid off the roof
Sakura portends Japan's spring
Ours is avalanche!
**********
The snow is slipping
Falling from sun warmed spruce boughs
Not spring yet, but close!
******
Rose skies, east and west
As dawn lights up the arctic,
Fine winter morning!
***
I had my coffee.
Next, off to the polls to vote
Time to change the world!
***
It is today here
In Japan it's tomorrow.
Were is yesterday?
***
Early Saturday.
The sun hasn't come up yet
Lighting the wood stove.
***
The sun's in my eyes
and the wind is at my back,
walking through the snow.
****
You see it yourself
Some days are warm some days cold
$cience is $ettled.
****
Brown leaves are buried
'neath a layer of white snow,
Bare branches lament.
****
Seventy eight years
I've observed the passing days
Emerge from winter.
****
Gabby Gabriel
Gave Gordy green gruesome grubs
Gord gave Gabe glum gawks.
OK, not really haiku but some days seem to start this way.
****
Green red and yellow
Leaves covered with frost crystals.
Autumn frost magic!
***
Had a frost last night
All my flowers are wilted
Autumn in August.
***
A few yellow leaves
The nights are getting longer
My firewood's stacked.
***
We've more rain today
Rain means it's spring in haiku
Endless springtime here!
***
Large trees floating past
The river is at flood stage
Nature's spring cleaning.
****
Rain in Osaka
I head to Kansai Airport
Leaving storms behind.
***
Almost deafening.
Calling through the morning mist.
A heard of ravens.
***
Early summer rain
The low clouds obscure the view
Mountains are hidden.
***
Cool rainy weather
At Takanoko Onsen
Hot soak and sauna.
***
Hooligan Ravens.
Five O'clock in the morning.
Challenging the day.
***
At Sea Mount Castle
Watching rains sweeping Seto sea
Misty memories.
***
Down by the water
Sakura in my sake
At Tanukii's shrine.
***
Light dusting of snow
Only fresh tracks I can see
Are mine and the squirrel's.
***
Bright crystal islands
Ice floating on the river
Soon all will be still.
***
Walking in birch woods
Golden leaves fall behind me
I'm leaving no tracks.
***
Rain on a tin roof
A monotonous refrain
Remember summer.
Down at the river
Not one person notices
When the frog jumps out.
***
Big moose on the trail
Thinks that he has right of way.
I agree, turn home.
***
Yellowed leaves dropping
More and more each day as we
Rush in to winter.
***
Rain runs down my neck
Still this job need be finished
Before the snow falls.
****
Light frost on the grass
Smell of wood smoke in the air
Nice autumn morning.
"""
Chopping firewood
Bit of summer exercise
For next winter's warmth!
***
A blanket of snow
Hides all my summer mistakes
Now I can relax!
I thought it was spring
But the groundhog disagreed
Winter's six more weeks.
***
Sit sipping sake
Watch the rabbit in the moon
Above the gate tree.
***
Strong winds blew all night
Rainy day in Senrioka
No more Sakura.
***
Japan's sakura
Alaska's pussy willows
Harbingers of spring!
***
It's a lot of work
Getting ready for winter
but I enjoy it!

Beautiful tiny poems... Haïkus can be so talkative...
