Haiku

   

first spring winds—
she likes what it�s done
to my hair

   

first warm day—
a pair of snow-angels
show us the earth

   

open for a moment
pollen floating
in the vase water

   

after school
children picking flowers
from bales of grass

   

long after she�s gone
dandelion fluff
rising again

   

mid-summer rain...
the river has
swallowed its island

   

rainy season—
the crescent moon�s light
reaching the river

   

mid-summer—
opening a beer bottle
with a beer bottle

   

night heat—
a cicada
in each commercial

   

winter night—
he tries to slurp his soup
just like his father
