haiku retrospective ccclxxiv

cold basement --
just put the christmas tree stand
next to the crutches

falling wood smoke --
a crooked stack of boxes
on the shop shelf

january sunshine --
a little fir tree leans
against the fir stump

sunlit raindrop --
scattered redwood fronds
on the brown tarp

paper snowflakes --
a little redwood wreathed
in wood smoke

grass sprouts --
the weathered slats
of the compost bin

january sunshine --
the little boy puts on
a pair of shorts
