SUMMER HAIKU 99

fresh green leaves
big enough to hide the bird
but not the song


yeterday's
dandilion clock
gone west

white balloon
floats downstream
signets follow


staring at me
in a city far from home
my cat's twin


Raskalnikov
breaks my daughter's heart
150 years later


new hall complete
teenagers return to roost
on the steps


summer rain
ducks pinch the air
fly catching


lighter today
after the thunderstorm
distant mountains


brand new grandmother
practices her pram turning
on the summer lawn
