-1-

owls hooting in trees
echoes of bull frogs singing
the forest at night

-2-

whirlpools sucking oars
slick canoe speeding along
lazy afternoon

-3-

the fish aren’t biting
poor worm drowns under water
fastened to the hook

-4-

bonny boy
first to steal my heart
love forever

-5-

ink on my fingers
paper strewn around my desk
one writer at work

-6-

people in my head
yammering up a storm on
lives they’ve never lived

-7-

boys’ soprano sing
crying out to god above
chorus of angels

-8-

a gaggle of boys
giggling in the dark of night
innocence at play

-9-

a speck in the sky
wings spread wide, riding thermals
bald eagle flying

-10-

one hundred haikus
written by my hand this month
I’m glad it’s over
