spring morning --
the breeze
in her one curl of hair

strolling down broadway
keeping rhythm with her heart--
her gibson girl hat
the fortune teller
deciphering the thin line
to get to his future
early spring--
sparrow peeks through chain-link fence
private eye
birthday girl celebrating!
... she got
her most desired gift
Lake's mirror -
the girl with her dishevelled hair
and a weeping willow
Very nice Stanford. Five inches of snow in
Detroit today though, thus...
winter wind
the infant curled
in the curls of her hair
nor-easter snow storm
blasting old cape cod--
spring three days away
Mother's auburn curl-
Once more held wihin my hand
Time to let it go.
Ahhhh yes, very nice. Superbly executed Stanford -- this haiku conjures a multitude of possibilitities,
chiyo
Again the women
come to the fields
with unkempt hair

soy Celia,
vine del frío,
y la vida me ha llevado a las tierras del sol
¿Te acuerdas de mí, Stan?

enjoyed the beautiful warm image of this one; it stayed with me after i first saw it in my email
so i came back to read it again.
_____ hello Stanford. This WOULD BE MUCH BETTER
FOR ME, IF YOU REPLACED "BREEZE" WITH
"MOTION OF". SPRING MORNING ALREADY TELLS US THERE IS A BREEZE.
IN ANY CASE I LIKED THE IMAGERY.

summer evening --
towards the stars
my sigh

email from work.
thanksgiving alone
i order two
with anchovies
thoughts of spring --
coolness of night
against bare feet
