BEFORE MAY GETS AWAY . . . POEMS

 

HAIKU

windows blown out

but a glass lamp collection 

still on its shelf ('08)

~ ~  ~ 

cedar waxwing

feasting from a limb

of holly berries ('12)

~ ~ ~ ~

close to the wall

carrying their children

through rising waters ('99)

~ ~ ~ ~

rooster

adding to early morning

birdsong ('09)

~ ~ ~ ~

tornado takes all

except 

two of three kittens ('97)

Memorial Day weekend

Sunday's paper comes

on Saturday night ('22)
