A Herd of Deer

I dreamt bad dreams of sickness, death and dying.

Then I went to work and drove the bus out into the country.

And a herd of deer passed in front of my bus. One, two, three….I lost count.

It was moving and magnificent.

It was a gift.

A Mourning Haiku

Mom, I see snowdrops!

I see them in your garden.

But you are not here.

A Flock of Turkeys

Ah, the first day of spring!

Still disappointingly cold in the Niagara region of Ontario, Canada; but it was delightful to see a flock of turkeys in the woods, as I drove the school bus in the early morning.

I’ve never seen that many together before.

Squirrelling Away

The other morning, I thought the mail lady had come. I heard the mailbox.

I looked. A squirrel dashed away into the small trees near the porch. She left a piece of toast in the mailbox.

Previously, I found peanuts-in-the-shell there.

What a hiding place!

Squirrel you are genius!

Buffleheads

Buffleheads bouncing up and down in the ice-cold

lake.

I never saw you before.

What a treat!

Winter Haiku

Sugar on the trees.

I search for spring in the wind.

It is not here yet.

Ice on Beaver Dams Pond

A thin layer of ice covered Beaver Dams pond.

It looked like a giant creme brulee.

The Fox

Oh friendly fleeing fox; who made a mad dash in front of our school bus to a little patch of remaining woods.

How excited the children were to see a wild animal up close.

Where will you go, when even those woods, are obliterated and a new housing complex, or strip mall springs up?
