How soon they're gone -
the bread crumbs and the sparrows
that I began to sketch

(Cicada, v.3, #4)



Hard frost -
a sparrow in my son's
cupped hands

(World Haiku Review, October, 2003)


Sparrows'
loud twittering --
smell of thawing snow


A sparrow first bathes
in the dust then in the birdbath -
early morning

Frosty day -
finches at the feeder
let a sparrow in


Two sunflowers -
three sparrows on one
none on the other


Stillness before rain...
a sparrow hunts for mites
amongst its feathers
