Words I'm writing: A Haiku

Spring garden lizards

Each with a full, tapered tail

Our cat died last fall

Words I'm Writing: An Autumn Haiku

I meant to post this here back in October when I wrote it. Here belatedly is an autumn haiku.

Sun-warmed paper bag

Damp after first autumn rain

But my sleeping cat snores 

Miscellaneous: Frog on Lettuce Leaf

Found this fellow in the vegetable garden this morning. I feel a haiku coming on....

I know nothing about frogs, but, judging from photos on the Internet, this is the Pacific Tree Frog (Hyla regilla). They are abundant in our garden, coming out usually in the evening, after it cools. They are extremely vocal at some times of the year--much louder than you'd expect from their size. This guy would fit nicely on a quarter.

Words I'm writing: Haiku

Scent of wet asphalt

Brings back Ohio summer heat

Raindrops on the drive
