In June of 2007, the mention of haiku in a writing podcast intrigued me. Since then I've re-connected with nature and learned to be still more often. Thank you, unknown author.

Selected Work
 
abandoned smokestack
the last swift swoops in
with twilight
 
rain on kids' day     the carny's blank stare
 
 
 
tree farm in June
migrant workers begin
shaping Christmas
 
all the tropical tastes
in a popsicle man's
tinkling bell
 
 
 
trying to get
all those little things done
. . . gnats in the fruit bowl
 
the kind of breeze
I knew as a child . . .
seersucker
