10 Haiku Poems
God. Guns. Country. Trump
sign in southern Oregon
record heatwave.
Ants don’t know they walk
on a moving ball. The Earth
orbits sun at 67,000kmh
“Fucking move it”
shouted from a truck window
the geese don’t speed up.
T-junction. She passes
middle finger raised, lips pursed
the American Dream
Plastic in the nest
ospreys gather in faith
an American flag
Barn swallow
skims and scans the sand for flies
the Big Dipper.
47th birthday
snowflakes sparkles in the sun
not too old yet.
No cars stop for the
homeless man at the crosswalk
coffee tastes better
April brings hope
elderly care-home old man
refills bird feeder.
Teenager passing
Your dog looks like a fat pig!
dog keeps pissing
