Haiku

 

on he easel
an unfinished oil landscape
autumn in progress

 

 

May long weekend
the last Girl Guide cookie
crumby milk glass

 

 

suspicions—
homely girls never win
spring ‘talent’ contest

 

 

the March sun sets—
long past the hour
she waits in vain

 

 

pink straw basket
half-eaten Easter bunny—
bout of angina

 

 

April-blue clouds—
in a funk on the couch
he turns thirty

 

 

Rorschach test
just looks like inkblots
failed right brain

 

 

refrigerator
gurgles in defrost mode—
still too cool for shorts

 

 

showers of April
arrive late May as snow
flowers await June

 

 

Beatles’ mono box
yeah, you had to be there
and I was

 

 

tragic Easter
child murdered on her watch—
stress leave

 

 

freak May blizzard
garden resets to zero
except the weeds

 

 

iron dinosaur
her first welding project—
one of the guys

 

 

peonies
beaten into the mud—
solstice downpour

 

 

sidewalk dervish
leaves and paper aswirl—
Oktoberfest

 

 

dilly bar
season’s first D.Q.—
toque and mitts

 

 

focused on her test
the girl across the aisle
twirls her hair

 

 

two small islands
breast the raging spring flood
and cease to exist

 

 

the first monarchs
the last pussywillows—
load of manure

 

 

asphalt and hot sun
distance dissolves to dream—
adjust the backpack
