North: SPRING SKY
cool grey this morning
the #springsky promises rain
for flowers to grow
South: LIGHTNING
thunder and #lightning
dark clouds roll in so quickly
disperse just as fast
last sip of coffee –
temporary
nirvana
#DailyHaikuPrompt | nirvana
#SmallPoems
#coffee
in the backwater –
upturned buckets
filled with ice fishermen
#DailyHaikuPrompt | salmon (usually walleye)
#SmallPoems
sweater weather –
skeins of geese ply
the March sky
#DailyHaikuPrompt | geese
#SmallPoems
a teetering season –
next catkins and blackbirds
tumble into the wetlands
#DailyHaikuPrompt | catkins
#SmallPoems
early March inside the
cardinal’s song –
new moon

Old frog by a pond
Patiently biding his time
In dappled sunlight
mist over the creek
a cold morning follows
the snow

before the blizzard
a bluebird on the fence

in the woods with the dogs –

deer in the headlights –
late night
on a quiet gravel road

invisibile grief
you think you hide it so well
know that I see you

Have you ever or would you ever do your own cover?
I did in the beginning. In spite of (or perhaps because of) some training in the practice, I realized that even an inexpensive, pre-made cover worked better.
I've had some good ones. Some that are only so so, but the bad ones were all the ones I made myself.
Now that I have revenue to support the writing, I pay an editor and cover artist to make my work better than I can do alone.

the local owls ask
existential questions
