HAIKU FOR HELEN
SWELTERING, MELTING
HOUSTON OPENS ITS ARMS WIDE
EATS MY DESERT COOL
-selah-
HE DIED ONLY LAST WEEK
Snow watered tulips
pushing through winter compost.
Signs of life! So rude.
QUICKLY
After Tuesday’s snow –
heavy, wet, breaking branches –
Wednesday’s sun was sweet.
INTERLOPER
I see you bindweed
riding Virginia Creeper
across the back wall.
Do not even think
I will allow you to stay,
after all the hail.

TRIP
Blasted purple eye!
I meant only to arrive,
not fly up the steps
.
DEFIANCE
Hail be damned! Lilies,
despite annihilation,
thumb their bright noses

VINCA MAGIC
My sweet Lord! that hill
awash with heavenly blue
soothes a heavy heart
AND NUMBER THIRTY
Haiku to end the run
***
April is complete
Snow storms, broken trees, Easter
thirty poems in…
WET CLEAN UP ON FIVE
Do not just stand there!
Mop up that spreading blind sludge
well before dinner!
