Some Haiku for Winter
a collection of seasonal poems
Wisps of fog linger
Like puffy ghosts in the air.
Can this be winter?
❄
A thin film of ice
Now covers the pond's surface,
And the ducks fall through.
❄
Why are you still here
With leaves already fallen?
What silly lost geese!
❄
They say snow's coming,
Mountains of powdery snow.
Hm, we may yet see.
❄
The pond's still surface
Today remained quite frozen.
Many birds have flown.
❄
A creature of snow,
Stones for eyes and sticks for hands,
Now guards the back door.
❄
The roads are icy,
And in the shadows of night,
They are dangerous.
❄
A fit of damp snow;
A spinning car on the road.
Driving in winter.
❄
Winter moon so bright,
Why burn brilliant and cold?
Your cool stare freezes.
❄
Snow falls like kisses;
Ten thousand against my face
As I walk alone.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
