Haiku to Edit 1

Global Haiku • Millikin University • September 2015

Reading and Math
A mother sits
Child moans

 

 

 

hand and hand
walking in the sand
perfect vacation

 

grandma's kitchen
gooey chocolate chip cookies
in my mouth

 

Saturday morning
biscuits and gravy
good days

 

 


headphones in
shouting begins
world war 300 or so

 


The sun shinning bright
The smell of the grass
The weekend is here

 


leaves changing
we go for a ride
he steals a kiss

 

 


Lines of cars
the cold hard ground
twenty one guns

 


Brisk October night
Porch lights
Kids go door to door

 


hospital room
greatest feeling I know
becoming a Dad

 

 


golden sun setting
blue ocean tides roll
hammock

 


the church bells toll
all appears still
they walk out as one

 


dim light
school books
cheek on page 42


 


Bubbling fountain
Scattered change
Another hopeful wish



Storms clouds rolling in
Seeds have been sewn
God’s hands
