scolds from the tree branch.

Fumbled around in
the dark for too long — hoping

Clear, tiny, sharp. Hail
pelted us as we stood on
the subway platform.

Emily Bronte’s
birthday — loved Wuthering Heights —
wish she’d lived longer.

Fear the well is dry —
thoughts don’t translate to haiku
quite as readily.

Croquet in the yard —
“Fetch me a gin and tonic,”
I thought as I played.

Our village picnic
was today — a dish-to-pass
in the wee school yard.

Penn State soccer camp’s
going great guns for Clara —
hope it all works out.

Gwen’s lemonade stand —
homemade sign, flowers in glass —
a smashing success.
