Bio Note: Retired from Pediatrics after a wonderful forty-three-year career, I have added daily reading and writing of poetry to grandfathering, bird watching, fly-tying and fly fishing. I write every morning, sometimes afternoon as well, pausing to pay attention, alert to details, changes over time, and questions that I have not fully examined or previously missed, that each new poem helps me explore.
Bashō's Hut
Inchworm—
with patience
garden just ahead
Selfless instructor—
damselfly
teaching bass to jump
The most ungenerous man
still feeds
deer flies
