Last Month in New York, in Photo Haiku


New York images.

November 2020.

Captions in haiku.

For expanded captions, see my Instagram feed.

Cars along the FDR, Queensboro Bridge in background

City lights at dusk.

The Queensboro Bridge in pearls.

Cars race without care.


Christmas tree, lighted, overlooking East River

Solitary tree,

dreaming of a white Christmas.

Irving Berlin's house.


Lego store window with diorama of Rockefeller Center

Toy diorama.

Fake Rockefeller Center,

inside the real thing.


Statue in lobby of 280 Park Avenue

Fish out of water.

Whimsy turns the dim world pink.

Park Avenue art.


Tall buildings, street POV

Buildings watch me walk.

I look up and catch their stare.

Nosy, jealous glass.


Rockefeller Center, before the tree lighting

Unlit Christmas tree,

an emperor without clothes.

Poised, and soon to shine.


View from the Belden Point pier, City Island

City Island's point,

like nowhere else in New York.

Cape Cod in The Bronx.


Nighttime view of Manhattan's East Side

My view leaving work.

Bright lights aligned in columns.

Windows filled with life.


Empty park at night

Two ghosts playing chess.

Imaginary dogs howl.

Neither leave a trace.
