sunshine---
a poodle wears
snow boots



Times Square new year's eve---
too long a wait
for just a kiss


.................................................................................



New York Snowstorm, January 2011


morning blue sky---
where did all this snow
come from



the blizzard debacle---
but Bloomberg is
a lame duck



half-and-half---
blizzard clouds still over Manhattan
blue sky here



overcast sky---
a car skids on black ice
soiled blizzard snow



East River snow
covers it's banks---
Winter stillness



blizzard whiteouts---
beautiful to watch
from indoors


Saturday night---
a condom machine
is not working



.................................................................................



Shared with "Joys of Japan"

jazz at Lincoln Center---
every night is
a jam session



they did not wear hats
or any thing else---
the rock musical "Hair"



Union Square ---
a pizza joint plays
Buddhist music



Rockefeller Center ice ring ---
flies swarming over
cheese cake



East River Winter---
the pool emptiness
chills more than its wind



back in Boston---
Patriots fans grief
over loosing to the Giants



.................................................................................


storm Isaac aims at Tampa---
can Romney's boat
stay afloat

growing up---
I was no
Huckleberry Finn


Roosevelt Island---
a miniature
Manhattan



iPhone 5---
American ingenuity
lives on



Autumn blue sky---
a tourist climbs
the Statue of Liberty

Hi! Fred:

Thanks for sharing your haiku. I particularly like the second one in which "a puddle wears/snow boots." This makes me grin from ear to ear.

a rainy day gets me a seat
to write a haiku
