Haiku Attempts 1 - Transitions

Global Haiku • Millikin University • Fall 2012

 

Cool lemonade
Drinks with friends
Shade


nothing gets better
but we must try anyway
so they say


every ten seconds a new wish
flashes across the milky way

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cookouts--
knowing school
is just around the corner

Blue Ridge Mountains roadtrip
dog puke
no more court dates

extreme drought
dead grass
children do a rain dance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yardwork
i'm handed lemonade and cookies
thanks Grandma

summer nights
toasted marshmallows
too good to let cool

tent camping at midnight
it's still too hot
to cuddle
