Haiku Group 1
late light illuminates
makes the housesiding pop
winter sun still warm
In morning dark lie
still, content until
body's pains propel
breeze shouts good morning
squinty sky is solid sheet
bird wakes in spring warmth
breeze shouts good morning
squinty sky is solid sheet
bird goes about her business
words' edges hone fine
read head-on you can't see
where air meets steel
watch train approach
whistle warning learned
now catch that ride
bird swoops in
tilts head to ground
orange mouths await
days of rain never ending
clouds at last depart
birds sing as if at dawn
mottled mudhole
brown liquid stuff
green shoot emerges
prefers trees to trinkets
when that is common
Things will change
friends romans
countrymen lend me
your acronyms
crust is hard and
crunchy and dough soft
like deer's eyes
afternoon trees filled
with raucous noisy splotches
blackbird convention
First buds appear
brave pioneers
beware the late frost
fruit color crayon
wrapping still intact
grows a fine apple
rolling green hill
endless white rows of teeth
a thousand lives lost
rolling green hills
rows and ranks of wavy teeth
mark countless losses
waves of clouds
wind driven vapor rolling
my thoughts unclear
self-doubt is virus
friends an antidote
soon bring healing effect
autumn sky stretches
smooth colors at quiet dusk
geese arrows pierce
first light just seeking
objects illuminated anew
seen as never before
past field of speakers
two-story-high screen soars
fun of summers past

Duluth
Lake's tip sings
In bright sunshine sparking
the city rejoices
