more haiku

recent carbondale haiku (2009)

veterans gave us
this moment - you swing high
into oranging trees
(11-09)

swing on the far right
slighly muddy ground beneath
november's best hour
(11-09)

fires of october
past their peak, with cold north wind,
darker restful brown
(11-09)

sidewalk chamomile,
soft rain, small yellow flowers
reality tea
(6-09)

summer fixing code
in office - in broad daylight,
dear eat tomatoes
(6-09)

historic graveyard
oaks, acorns isolated
by westbound traffic
(6-09)

love of a bottle
whistle of an oncoming train
wood park bench, trestle
(6-09)

inland hurricane
or whatever they call it
half this town destroyed
(5-09)

kid works play structure
unaware of thanksgiving
madness descending
(11-08)

rainy parking lot
christmas decorated lights
singing deer guards door
(12-08)
