Haiku :End of school, Memorial and Decoration Days

the last bell rings
but nobody cheers . . . class
concert not finished
~
week before finals
uncharacteristic urge
toward spring cleaning
~
four days of school left
taking his trumpet case
but not his horn
~
the prom knight
and his lady
dressed in chain mail
~
teaching the lad
about Decoration Day
son spies a turtle
~
Memorial Day
her arms full of flags to place
near the headstones
~
butterfly alights
on the open haiku book~
Memorial Day
