their legends
living on in storybooks
barn owls
screeching under the moon
vanish into the night

there will be a time…
in 5 to 8 billion years when the sun dies–as stars do not live forever–and when the sun explodes, planet earth will dissolve into space …
sleep
a cosmic dress rehearsal –
will anyone count
the last day
of the last year?

May evening – – haiku
baby robins
wandering
everywhere
.
.
raindrops
lining branches of
green tufts
.

sunlight . .
fresh grass
in the puddles

spring floods – – haiku
Rain and more rain fills the roadside ditch a safe distance away from my house. I think of the people in my hometown fleeing the Ottawa River.
spring floods –
holding ponds fill with
climate petitions
