Elegant Bandit
Oh Great Kiskadee,
lemon-yellow vest, black mask,
elegant bandit.
***
Doves
They are not mourning--
sentimental more than sad--
pink-gray wistful doves.
***
Transformation
Voracious eater
becomes delicate sipper
with rice-paper wings.
***
Pulse
Palm on cool granite,
she feels the earth's steady pulse
and forgets herself.
***
Woodpecker
Red top-knot ablaze,
piliated woodpecker
pounds tamarack tree.

specially like "pulse" ...you still have one? Reminds me of my friend, Janet- feeling for her dead father's pulse- insisting that he was alive...it was her own.
ReplyDeleteI love haiku! These are lovely, I especially like 'Pulse' as well...
