March 31 - haiku/senryu
a brief life
serenades from the reeds-
eternal spring
March 30 - haiku/senryu
start stop start stop
two squirrels hide and seek
to the treetop
March 29 - haiku/senryu
spring fever-
I cut my jeans
very short
March 28 - haiku/senryu
I trod barefoot
on the path
to his sandals
March 27 - haiku/senryu
hands trembling
I press his note into
origami folds
March 26 - haiku/senryu
waning moon, low tide
sand shifts from my feet
to my lover's
March 25 - haiku/senryu
the scent of rain
the scent of him-
one and the same
March 24 - senryu/senryu
at the zoo
sneaking a grope
by the python cage
March 23 - haiku/senryu
freshly washed hair
drying in the spring air-
I think of him
March 22 - haiku/haiku
bathroom window
moonlight
voyeur
March 21 - haiku/senryu
before dawn
he wakes me
in prayer
March 20 - haiku/senryu
moonless night
my lover's eyes
the only light
March 19 - haiku/senryu
I anticipate
his breath on my nape-
spring dusk
March 18 - haiku/senryu
cloudburst-
his clothes and mine
drip-dry in the tub
March 17 - haiku/senryu
blood oranges
pried open
bleeding down my chin
March 16 - haiku/haiku
melon flesh yields
green gourds hang-
afternoon banquet
March 15 - haiku/haiku
curbside run-off
graceful silhouette
the flight of a crane
March 14 - haiku/senryu
camp raid-
not a single egg
or raccoon left
March 13 - haiku/senryu
wasp nest
in my mailbox-
unpaid bills
March 12 - haiku/senryu
a tabby preens
on the porch-
ant queue
March 11 - haiku/haiku
daybreak-
empty and unbroken
a lone snail shell
March 10 - haiku/haiku
spring showers
woven boughs
nut hatchlings sleep
March 9 - haiku/senryu
cacophony-
returning geese
catch up on gossip
March 8 - senryu/senryu
sun bonnets in vogue-
a bee attends
high tea
March 7 - haiku/senryu
morning dew-
ladybug
reflections
March 6 - haiku/senryu
swollen stream-
bears' midday forage
the twins wrestle
March 5 - haiku/haiku
death rattle-
gulls loiter inland
from the last storm
March 4 - haiku/senryu
coitus-
two otters
underwater
March 3 - haiku/haiku
dream catchers
at dawn's first light-
cocoon remnants
March 2 - haiku/senryu
scalloped leaves-
a caterpillar's
overbite
March 1 - haiku/haiku
snow melts-
bones of winter
grin from the grass
a brief life
serenades from the reeds-
eternal spring
March 30 - haiku/senryu
start stop start stop
two squirrels hide and seek
to the treetop
March 29 - haiku/senryu

Very nice little collection. Especially the 28th.
They're all groovy though.
