Haiku - a way to seize the moment.

    first light
    a little bit of gold
    in the finches

Ekphrastic haiku (haiga) - combines haiku and an image.
   Especially interesting at galleries and art openings.

    yellow ribbon
    rolling down the street
    in a gritty wind

from “Daddy Never Drove By Maps”

    The stranger’d give us lefts and rights
    landmarks and we’d keep on going
    until we forgot and then we’d stop
    some guy and ask again.. . .
    red lines on maps
    everything goes
    through the heart
