daily haiku by haiku andy

napping with the dogone of ussnores too loud

granddaughter’s visitI pretend my backdoesn’t hurt

babysittingtimefor my nap

the dog sprawled outacross the bathroom tileanother scorcher

high countrythe horizon rimmedwith white cumulus

foothills heat wavewe pack up the dogand drive to the sea

juicing veggiessome stainsnever come out

alone timethe moon tooslips away

kitchen flyI try to catch itwith my hand, ha!

triple-digit weatherthe dogs demonstrateperfect stillness

new crescent moonin an overheated sky —when did you get here?

cat’s food dishfull of antsthey’re hungry too

july heatpale husks ofgrape hyacinth

cloudless dawntrees on the ridgealready catching sun

cool of the eveningcats sitting againstthe window screen

a plastic bucketfull of pulled weedscarbon capture

donner passhow lovely to seesnow in high summer
