Haiku- Spring 2019


snow melt leaking
through a wall of cobble stone-
the muse finds a way



umbrellas tracing
the downsloped heads
of those in the rain



the dog learns it all,
those scents down in the mud
of the drainage ditch



notre dame burning,
a century's worth of stories
told in a few hours



before the blossoms
a woodpecker resounds
sunshine



worn tired of culture-
tulip blossoms closed beneath
bright, bittering stars



pairing off-
tree pollen whirling
with the sawdust



spring air hung with sweetness,
the sound of my foot steps
sound much too loud



lithe cherry blossoms
beneath craggy old oaks-
between fly songbirds
