Summer Haiku- 2016

ageless dawn

filled with a birdsong

above all else

cottonwood seeds

floating transcription

of wind chimes

summer solstice

wild daisies, an unknown

path to nowhere

a sunny yesterday

now bent in slow rain,

silent peony

Independence Day-

freely I shut the windows

for some quiet

people getting to me-

hungry ants that found

my raspberry patch

dust cloud 

at an intersection-

stale memory

what stands in the heat

of high summer asphalt,

the crow

tickled joy

black swallowtail

in tiger lily blooms

saying goodbye,

thoughts brought by the dew

will fade in sunlight

chinese lanterns

in a labor day evening sky-

summer in remnants
