Haiku #5 (NS)

Quiet reflection.
A gnat touching
water’s sheen —
ripples in the mind

Haiku #16

Walking in the rain,
my umbrella forgotten:
Touching the catkins

Copyright Francis 2021

Unseasonal warmth
through an open window; peals
of distant church bells

Copyright Francis 2021

Lone predicament
walking winter, a pauper —
richer in my soul

The shaman’s spirit
abroad, deep in winter’s woods;
speaks in runic tongues
