Eleven months
We just have eleven months
Christmas Eve is near

Snow Falling
See the snow falling
Swirling, blowing, covering
Thin tree limbs will bow
A poem for bolts
Bolts of fabric
Bolts of light
A bolt from the blue
Sit bolt upright
To bolt is to run quickly
A bolt is not a screw
both of them will fasten
if you know how they are used
The bolts you find in rifles
are sturdy, that’s a fact.
Mr. Bolt, the runner,
is fastest on the track.
A haiku for bats
Bats hang inverted
The cave is dark all day long
When night falls they fly
Haiku for an ice cube
Cold clear and solid
Melting in my tea tumbler
soon liquid again
Haiku for a new pencil
Ticonderoga
yellow pencil Number 2
eraser pristine
A haiku for Hawaiian sandwiches
Hawaiian Islands
Cook called them Sandwich Islands
SPAM came much later
A haiku for romantics
Life is far too short
Time is not to be wasted
Take a chance on love
Haiku for the letter Q
We have fifty states
Some are difficult to spell
Never use a Q
An elephant haiku
Vacation is near
You must remember your trunk,
says the pachyderm
