Haiku

by

Don't step there!
the old dock
can't take it anymore


a cloud floats
longing for neighbors
to throw one last bang

 

a forest clearing
comes into view . . .
full of beer cans


trying to get healthy
he heaves for breath
each one a finish line

 

the boy smiled triumphantly
with his ball
poison ivy couldn't stop him


do you miss the ocean
she asks
I wasn't listening

 

the road sings
to those who listen
waiting for sunrise
