Selected Haiku

by
Alicia Kelly

 

shattered picture frame
yet so perfect
her mother's face

up and down
in and out
Grandma knits a scarf

jumps and twirls
the couple glides
across the ice—in touch

  

strike one, strike two.
good luck once again
in his old man's baseball glove

my uncle asleep
chin to chest
too much turkey

  

cold wind blowing
through the empty playground
no child's voice heard
