Haiku Poems
by Alan Harris
|
Western glow fading-- decrescendo of songbirds-- stars surprise the eye.  new petals without hurry, knowing the sun waits. pilots must fly in airplanes and birds must use wings. sparrows on wires chirp farewell to the dimming day. arthritic black oak branches finger the cold sky. trees, like commuters, rush toward where they've always been. a steeple stabs the blue sky with its metal cross. lightly brush the abbey wall; monks seek light within. pure white in morning sunlight-- suddenly, a fly. |
From the book Sparks from the Flame (1985)
