Ten Haiku Poems
one cloud blocks the sun
and they all go grey
funeral service
false thaw melting into my teacup
high-tension lines
hidden below its reflection
the stem of a waterlily
yellow violets
once again mother tells me
some things never get better
sinistral snail
you wouldn’t know
to look at me
lily of the Nile
a child’s hand
gives me the sky
beginning and ending
at the crest of a ditch
daylilies
Cocalico Creek
reaching its banks
fractus clouds
the west wind
shakes the white tulips
meringue
briar rose
the goats devour
spring stars
