Below is a sample of my haiku work and also a link to purchase my first collection of poetry, The Little Book of Haiku, which is a poetry/picture book containing fifty photographs and/or images accompanied by haiku that reflect the tone of the picture.

Together we wait

Hanging from a precipice

The future beckons


Growling it comes near

The beast that would take my soul

I cannot fight it


The white snow falling

Beyond my window is cold

So monstrously cold


Glinting like jewels

Your eyes shine in the darkness

They move to watch me


It is time to rise

To stand up and be counted

Time to step forward


The darkness within

Yearns to break free of the chains

I wove around it
