Haiku for my brothers

Four brothers at their last reunion

No way we could know
at this playful reunion,
it would be our last.

NOTICE -- Evans Creek Preserve is now a "no gnome zone"

They came for the gnomes.
I didn’t speak — I wasn’t a gnome.
So it starts like this.

Haiku about poetry and life

We’re playing a game,
calling out “Marco!” “Marco!”
just to hear “Polo!”

~ Haiku of Experience ~

Today’s conclusion —
the world is tinged with sorrow
even amidst joy

Martin Luther King

~ Martin Luther King Day Haiku ~

If only they hadn’t
shot Martin down, you think things
would be different?

Crows

~ Crow Haiku ~

Slanting winter sun
Catches crows gliding above
Gilding black wings white.

Depression couple

~ Haiku for My Parents ~

Depression couple,
Never quite got the memo
That it was over.

Haiku for My Brother

Last time I saw him
We wandered among tombstones.
Now, he has his own.

Well over sixth, Dad built a barn by himself ...

~ Hometown Haiku ~

Well over sixty,
Dad built a barn by himself.
Now it, too, molders.

All ready to sell

Hometown Haiku

All ready to sell,
the childhood house stands empty,
but for memories.
