traffic jam
a yellow tractor
embroiled in the muddle
night
class
even the teacher
watching the clock
Haiku Sequence
A
Dandelion Season
for
Angela 12/28/61-12/27/76
your
first snapshot
dandelion fluff
sprouting from a blanket
your soil rich
we counted your cycles
scholar, poet, athlete
a drunk driver
on a winding curve
your bike airborne
a brilliant wildflower
they gathered you
from a weedy ditch
siren song
no carol of hope
no birthday wish
the final viewing
your golden head
crowning a casket
