Haiku- Summer 2017

an open doorway 

filled full with light

and bird songs

quiet avenue

with the warmth of the sun-

memorial day

across the table

from me sits an empty seat

filled with sunshine

backyard chatter light fading into fireflies

a dragonfly perched

on the tip of a reed-

morning meditation

children swinging

only just so high above

clouds of dust

sunday evening,

through empty yards

a breeze strolls

dog days of august,

the yard out back starts

to tell it's story

morning crickets

for a moment I forget

what day it is
