Haiku to Edit 1

Global Haiku • Millikin University • July 2013

 


weekend at home
kids creeping in
snuggling bed

weekend at home
kids creep in
to snuggle

 

 


meeting friends
wading creek
bucket full of crawdads


Hot summer days
kids playing street games
mother watching


stormy night
six telling stories
flashlight on

 

 

 

 


turning in my keys
the landlord inspects the house
no, that stain was always there


I drive by
my old house
with a new fence


rainbow created daydreams
limitless
astronauts, kings and queens

 

 

 

 


young mother
coastal breeze 
waddling


marching bands
battle calls
ole abe


a hard rain
a boy stirs oily rainbows
the sewer floods

 

 

 

 

 


warm summer breeze on my face
hammock
cool taste of beer


soft fresh sheets
warm press of her body
waken to the sun
