Haiku
by
Kara Manning
|
lightning flashes
chains of the old porch swing
creak in the dark
|
|
| |
soft morning light
our first kiss good-bye
after the honeymoon
|
a momentary pause
at the stop sign
where no one stops
|
|
| |
crying baby
the crowd applauds
another firework
|
stars on the water
fireworks explode
in the night sky
|
|
| |
first cold rain
muddy paw prints
across the wooden floor
|
summer rain
I try to hide
my tear streaked face
|
|
|
one stray snowflake
upon my nose
a lover’s kiss
|
the leafless tree
covered with ice a cardinal
cries for his mate
|
|
|
lonesome highway
snowflakes melt
against the windshield
|
orange Popsicle stain
on middle C
I practice Bach |
