I am your oak tree
As I stand beside your knee
Will you speak to me
Not with hatchets in your eyes
But with birds’ nests on your mind
And honeybees so kind
Care for my green arms
Feel my shade protect from harm
This Haiku: My Most
You most perfect Ones
With truthful eyes of lake-blue
That change with the Day
This Haiku: April’s Assist
My fire will be felt
Only as I hold the gaze
Of who watches me
Lake Michigan sunrise; April 2015, Milwaukee, WI
everything nothing
My toe through the tide pool
My whisper in the wind
My excited utterance
My aura around you
What
What
What?
What Watchers Witness: A Haiku
Lost in the moment
Without deciding, they danced
Awe forced my smile then
Temperament: A Haiku
There’s nothing of you
With a sense of urgency
That is your nature
But these two wild ones
Refuse to be trained as such
They want what they want
Negotiators
They pressure me for sugar,
Playgrounds, comic books
This Haiku: What Impact
Who are we today
Please not two of the masses
Just marking their days
Endorphins
…the sweat
Turns to cool
Turns to strength
Turns to relief
Turns to gratitude
Turns to desire
Turns to sweat…
This Haiku: Play Through
Small Tree and The Sea
Windswept, stand nevertheless
For they are true friends
This Haiku: Tapestry
I love how you think
You can just wear mismatched socks
And laugh about it
With hands on those hips
Dare a crazy smile and get
Away with it all
