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
