Selected Haiku
by

Steve Wilson


the Louisiana swamp
looking for gators
children stare


smell of rain
storm approaches
we watch from the back yard


preparing for Christmas
a visit to the hospital
a beautiful baby boy

 

 

books
friends
late for the bus


neighbors knock franticly
the sky roars
a frightened family

 

 

    Family renga

children awake
sounds of storms
cry for mom

exhausted
children in the bed
out of room

neighbors knock franticly
the sky roars
a frightened family

a small child
sleeps through the night
a parent's love

morning approaches
early rise
makes a long day

sunny day
looking for shelter
thirsty
