Shalom Chaverim 2

Evening reverie
Sky and tree and water's edge
Song of Loon's farewell

Fungi Kingdom 5

Burgandy, Chablis
Intoxicating beauty
Cabin yard fungi

Elbow Lake, Minnesota

Listen

Unseen across lake
Common loon's uncommon song
Far north lullaby

~dkm 49/365

Alone

They say there are bears
In these Minnesota woods
Night walk to cabin

Others have seen them
Gray wolves and timber wolves too
Be aware, they say

Writing Supplies

Curling bark of birch
Multiple trunks from ground up
Paper for haiku

Travel Day

Four-hour climate change
Georgia to Minnesota
90s to 60s

Hello Elbow Lake
Lovely to meet you at dusk
Foggy, cool, and still

~dkm 46/365

Shalom Chaverim

View from where I sit
On the swing my brother built
Last day before trip

Farewell to green leaves
Tall loblollies, and this spot
Till October's end

 ~dkm 45/365

Play Ball

Sandhill crane egg. Not.
Lenten rose egg. Not. Games of
Granddad, grandson. Are.

~dkm 44/365

Pesticides?

On walk with neighbors
Earthworms washed from grassy bank
Already dead, dried

Rain gush or toxins?
Afraid I know the answer
No rain here for days

Ordinary Day

Staggering power
Propels ant across sidewalk
Toting food to nest

Energy for the
Impossible every day
Lesson of the ant
