summer morning

three AM thunder
four thirty drizzly bike ride
swim then damp ride home

sunrise

flowing freezing air
hypothermia threatens
then I ride uphill

Sad day

Walking my Shadow
Remembering her cousin
Sympathy to all

forces of nature

unlike my cousin
uphill downwind homeward beats
upwind outward ride

oops

where has my mind gone
i made the perfect haiku
then it slipped away

Reflections on a morning ride

My bus passed by me
Dogwood blossom cloud hung low
Light stream ran to sea

spring

turn off the ipod
listen to nature singing
walk around outside

First day back

Laptop in panniers
with clothes and shoes paid my dues
in full in arrears

Frustration

four o'clock snowplow
leaves icy snow berm before
first swim class this year
