rolanniThere's been a call on the day-job announcement list for haiku relating to life at the college at which I serve. This got me into mode, of course. I stepped over to my window, which is situated high in the highest building atop the summit of the hill, and this is what I saw:
Gazing down the hill
Mist over distant treetops
Masks another world
What do you see out of your window?
Gazing down the hill

wet leaves on my lawn
Quite a wet and nasty day here... and I swear I even cleaned the windows within the last few months. It is amazing how quickly the dog noses mark them back up.

And do not open.
My husband sleeps during the day. We have blackout curtains, and he has thumbtacked them to the wall.

next to the front door
all the debris of my life

The internal haiku:
quantum physics says
the mess once seen multiplies
chaos manifests

rising slowly through the fog.
Gulls on the water.
Inside, color whirls:
red, blue, green, yellow surround
my desk, white and dull.
