Haiku 2017/201

filigreed tower:
a fat slice of wedding cake
on blue satin skies

Haiku 2017/200

the tall grass rustles
unexpectedly the light
breezes bend shadows

Haiku 2017/199

seagull where are you
calling on these city streets
I don't see the sea

Haiku 2017/198

plucking the bedspread
ever-moving anxious hand
fretful curved fingers

Haiku 2017/197

that white butterfly –
does it know this summer day
will soon be over

Haiku 2017/196

the pitcher pauses
the game hangs in the balance
then he hurls the ball

Haiku 2017/195

the warmth of the sun
the coolness under the shade
divided pleasures

Friday photo 2017/28

a seagull realizing his picture was being taken, on the banks of the Charles River, Boston, June 2017

Haiku 2017/194

somewhere a river
curves, drying up in the sun,
while I'm at the bank

Haiku 2017/193

waking from a nap:
grey indeterminacy.
those blurry edges.
