Margaret D. McGee, US

 

 

Haiku   michelle’s 50th— streamers, salsa, and a fly on a pink balloon     cold breath across the fence, mist lingers on withered fields     the sword above the mantle reflects a flutter of red silk     under the porch lantern she picks out chestnuts to roast     time to throw away stones gathered and cherished so long ago     in moon shade a plunging bobber— is that a keeper?     through the gate along the circling path she walks and waits     white foam at the turning tide pebbles mumble     About Margaret D.
