Selected
Haiku

Haiku
has been a very difficult art form me to work on this semester.
I have, in the past, enjoyed working on longer poems and metaphors,
so this bas been a major change.
I
have acquired an immense amount of rspect for this genre and
those who have the ability to master it. I know that my experience
with haiku will help me greatly with my own poetry.

red
hair
cut short
I watch her neck

the
acquarium
seals playing
an article on oil slicks

long
drive
looking for hawks
on telephone poles

|
|
white
farm house
a tractor tire
the perfect swing

cleaning
out the spare room
under overalls
a swollen belly

quiet
morning
coffee perks
orange cat stretches

she
brushes her hair
I watch
behind my book
