haikupoet.com — the blog has run its course. For now I will continue to keep it available as an archive, but all future Extra Special Bitter ramblings, haiku and otherwise, will be posted at http://extraspecialbitter.blogspot.com/. As always, thank you for shopping...

longest day —
the sign in big black letters reads:
LOST CAT

full moon —
my granddaughter touches
my silver hair

crowded train —
her snake tattoo
scowls at me

train running late
I almost cheat
at solitaire

waiting for the train
wilted peonies
in a wine bottle

hot summer night —
the dog’s breath
against my leg
