Haiku
From thick air, summer's
gift: water beads on beer glass
casting shards of light
Ivies, creepers . . . red
leaves curling and vines exposed
recall old folks' hands
In Matt's hand snow melts
chickadee pecks . . . sunflower
seeds scatter on snow
Pollen shower: green
sidewalks, cars and plastic chairs
painted by the trees
