Camping

between RV’s

they share courteous nods-

neighbours for one night

Haiku of the day

Picture: sxc

a gust of wind

tousles a sea gull’s feathers

inviting it to fly

The packing boy

the packing boy

yearningly watches them go –

white sneakers

The dragonfly dances

a dragonfly dances
over the lucent surface
the koi doesn’t look up

An old friend

‘So, how have you been?’

ten years after high school

an old friend reaches

for the same cereal box

and for the same sentences

Alone on the shore

alone on the shore

a woman tosses a stone

she strokes her white scalp

A brief glance

their eyes meet

once again for a brief glance –

flirt in a traffic jam

Nice and brown

she turns her legs

she knows how he likes them –

nicely browned

Blackbird

pale grey turns to dark

on the tip of a pine tree

a blackbird sings

Summer wind

the summer wind

carries the smell of nectar

and sweet expectation
