poem

the left stone lion

is wet from rain

and proud of it

days before

a robin told him

that rain will come

and it seems 

that this robin 

is wise

haiku

look at it

this evil drought

has its end now

haiku

heat in forecast

my body insists 

it's already fall

haiku

possibly

the heat enthusiasts 

hide in cellars

poem

you just walk along

and beneath you

a much lower

groundwater level 

you just walk along 

a strong branch 

of this tall tree

could hurt you

this tree told you a lot 

this tree begged

now long intervals

between its whisper

(AW, Aug 2026)

 

haiku

summer sounds

the night's hum

of insects and tech

(AW, Aug 2026)

 

haiku

August heat

again too tired

to do all chores
