Haiku To Edit 1

PACE Global Haiku • Millikin University • Attempts 1, September 2010

chin on chest
sweaty palms
heartfelt prayers

 

 

 

the magic of coffee and snow
trip with my brother
a chirstmas tradition

lighting candles
a mother
calms her child’s fears

crowded mall
hundreds are walking
a child stand alone

 

 

 

wedding reception
family and friends
good times

talking out loud
too alone with her toys
a four year old's imagination

fresh fall snow blowing
a warm fire roaring
chicken noodle soup

 

 

 

fluttering in the womb
looking out the window
smiling

hot summer breeze
glass of lemonade
the dog on my lap

cool fall night
the fire blazing
listening to the guitar

 

 

 

birthday candles
water sprinklers
wading pool

hoping
for a difference in results
….still a negative sign!

trembling hands
walking through tombstones
the crickets

 

 

 

all alone upstairs
turning on the tv
watching MASH because I can

ten tiny fingers
grasping a father's hand
a gift from God
