Burnham Park Haikus
Weeping willows stand
As silent as sentinels:
Children’s laughter rings.
The sun’s golden show'rs
Filtered by weeping willows--
Dazzling dance of light.
The lake’s calm waters--
Picture of serenity
A boat passes by.
Weeping willows stand
Beside the lake’s still waters
Sheltering lovers.
The much trampled grass
Wet with rain from yesterday
Looks verdant today.
Scores of bicycles
Plying the same narrow route
Some fast, some slow, some -----.
A sea of faces--
Some real, some blank, and some masked
But which one am I?
Children play, shout, run
The air echoes their laughter
Longing fills someone.
