Marking a birthday –
For someone no longer here ~
Aging in our minds.

#250/365
Passing on a watch –
Make sure date and time are right ~
A hug from my son.
#127/365
A piece of driftwood –
Wondering how old it is ~
How far it has come.
#29/365
Church bells ring for six –
Birds crankily settle down ~
Rain falling, softly.
#19/365
Try to fix a watch-
But I destroy it instead ~
A waste of my time.

Pittosporum scent –
Strong, mornings and evenings ~
Bracketing the day.
Snowman
Snow melts to filthy –
Carrot, patio marooned ~
And yet, we made him.
Faded photograph –
A surprising reminder ~
The aging chassis.
Sound of chimney wind –
Gives February gusts a voice ~
Old memories.
Marked
Read older haiku –
Thinking on how much has changed ~
And how much has not.
