Haiku Eric's hanging baskets, Hot Springs
pink and white petals
under the young tulip tree
steady rainfall
~ ~ ~ ~
look very closely:
in red-topped photinia
the cardinal's nest
~ ~ ~ ~
on the trail again
just to smell the privet
and honeysuckle
~ ~ ~ ~
behind hollyhocks
the hard-edged, less poppy tune
of early Beatles
~ ~ ~ ~
gift from his dentist
child plants the gladiolus
under the moss
~ ~ ~ ~
fight wild onions
by eating them . . . unless
they've been sprayed
~ ~ ~ ~
"What's on your list, Mom? . . ."
"Peace, love and understanding."
". . . from the dollar store."

the prom knight
and his lady
dressed in chain mail

Billy the kid, a while back. He's now 32.
