in puerto rico
enjoying winter in shorts
all comes to an end

deus me ajuda
eu quero viver pra tu
mas não é fácil

Context: Walking out of church, trying to find car while having other things on my mind … my first haiku in Portuguese

driving home tired
waking up early for work
no time for sleeping

rain rain go away
for as long as you are here
in traffic I stay

Context: Stuck in stand-still rush hour traffic on I-270 … Oh yeah, and it was raining

bumper to bumper
brake lights span for miles and miles
traffic in DC

Context: Stuck in traffic during the morning commute

The most common fear
is that thought that no one cares
and you’re all alone

Soaring through the sky
the familiar no longer is …
different perspectives

Snow hides ugliness
blanketing urban decay
masking character

Snow flakes hit my nose
Cars swerve on sleet covered roads
icicles galore

The rustle of leaves
the poignant chill in the air
winter is coming
