And so ends the year

This is the last post here.  But The Haiku Project 2014 will be live tomorrow, as the new year begins.

As the old year ends,
My wife asleep, our dog too,
And me, very soon.

At this time of day,
The world is just grays and whites,
Like an old photo.

29 December 2013

Skeletons of trees,
Silouhetted against the clouds,
Moving in the wind.

27 December 2013

Sitting in the sun,
Desmond, Mulligan playing,
And reading for fun.

Outside our front door,
An empty nest, the birds gone,
Waiting now for spring.

Even Christmas Eve,
Nothing is quiet, peaceful.
Fireworks fill the night.

22 December 2013

Sitting quietly,
Watching clouds drift past the moon.
I'm hoping to sleep.

Puddles in the yard
Large enough for swimming ducks
After two days' rain.

20 December 2013

First day of winter--
Snow melting in a warm rain,
Mud everywhere.

Sitting in the dark,
Volume down low, I listen
To Miles play "All Blues."

13 December 2013

Snow now fills the air,
White filigrees floating down
Slowly to the ground.

11 December 2013

A lazy morning,
With my wife, our dog, and me
Dozing together.

10 December 2013

Out in the sun room--
Comfort and a lovely view,
Even in winter.

6 December 2013

Trees, lawns blanketed
By newly-fallen snow. We
Look out on it all.

5 December 2013

Branches sag under
A sheet of ice,  As night falls,
It's safer indoors.

4 December 2013

Winding 'round the trees,
Lights shining through my window.
Coloring the night.

(Not that the colors show up
all that well in the dark.)
