Seven Haiku
thinning fog
the day opening up
inch by inch
cold rain
leaves dripping
the last of autumn
the beach at dusk
gulls and a lone man
on a mission
distant rumbles
a trembling surface
on the pond
peppermint
gone wild in the garden
the regrets I have
summer night
the light on my neighbor’s porch
goes out
summer doldrums
whistling through the junction
the northbound train
