One-line Linked Haiku

Improvisations of a Family

snow falling / the sound of a violin / at midnight
listening to a tune / that is not her song
a room filled with books / and paper whites  / in winter
short day / turning the pages / a long story
zoo monkeys / accusing one another / of unethical conduct
a Krugerrand found in the dirt / it's worth is it's weight
sagging limbs / a hint of plum blossoms / in moonlight
new year's eve / setting the incline on the treadmill
for a moment / she sees the hands on her watch / going backwards
army pension office / each with his / her own memory loss
favorite fish recipe / marking the page / an old rose
homeless / she holds a no smoking sign
through the mist /a cross emerges /false hope
crossing the Gaza Strip on donkey /to buy a satellite dish
dinner for one / the stark reality / of the evening news
armchair quarterback /improvisation of a family
new coat of paint / concealed in the wall / a daguerreotype
sun through an open window/ the young bride's veil
sudden wind changes direction /his voice on the phone
rocking her baby /she signs a lullaby
movie marquee / her name / now erased
contemplating life from a mud bath/the lights go out
morning mail / from an aunt never met / a diamond
aboard the train /looking at the landscape in the tour guide
