Haiku from Silvia's 2010 haiku journal

1/5/10 Cataract Falls Trail
Hettie's first birthday
What a difference a year makes
Little one is big


1/16/10
One, then many
Right side is red, left white
Russula rampage

1/9 Lucas Valley Rd
Standing still in field
The white horse smelling the wind
Wishes can come true

1/10 Nicasio Valley Rd
Dim shapes, muffled sounds
Landscape hidden by low fog
White clouds meet blue sky

1/11/10 Lucas Valley Rd
The bulb has sprouted
Dark blue hyacinth will bloom
Promises fragrance

1/12 Lucas Valley Rd
Rain began at night
Splattering against windows
We snuggle in bed

1/13 Lucas Valley Rd
Golden sun shining
Raindrops splatter on windshield
No rainbow in view

1/15 Deer Park Villa, Fairfax
Lamp lights pierce the darkness
Deer Park Villa! Lark Creek Inn!
Friendly ghosts are here.

1/16 Mountain View Cemetary
Pinkish white petals
The magnolia tree sheds her flowers
Grave decorations

1/17 Lucas Valley Rd
Illumination
Ice skaters begin to spin
The power goes off

1/18 Northgate My birthday
Sun shines through rain
Looking up with hope filled heart
And there's the rainbow!

1/19 Fairfax Library
Frozen rain pellets
Fiercely pelt my face and leg
Swarm of angry bees

1/20 Lucas Valley Rd
Raindrops collecting
Three waterfalls appearing
Rivulets to road

1/21 Lucas Valley Rd
Silver streams at dawn
Rainy Day Falls and two more
Plunge over the cliff

1/22 Café Gratitude, San Rafael
Storm clouds and downpours
How quick the weather changes
Bright sunshine, blue sky
