10 Haiku Poems
no curses
not a prayer
gentle daffodil rain
•
mussels shells. . .
one of these days
I’ll be the otter
•
kissing the sunfish
don’t ask
don’t tell
•
thump on the glass
a Phoebe can’t
close its mouth
•
pole beans
shimmer in rain shine
Namaste
•
heron feet . . .
the tadpoles conduct
business as usual
•
snowball fight
a policeman takes cover
behind Frosty
•
picking a lemon
for the widower’s pie
nice & plump
•
October sunshine
little water snake dons
a duckweed cap
•
their newborn
in a house of mourning
ghosts have ears
