Kim Rodrigues Poet Haiku

LUNE LANDING - series of lune haiku

LATE BLOOMER
sun highlights
the bod of oak bark -
Autumn knight

CLINGERS
won’t let go -
cling to puppy love,
its branches

CLEAVERS
cleaves to old
relationship vow -
storm shakes loose

LANDING
the leaves land
amidst the old maids’
bitterness

BRITTLE BONES
the children
jump in old gals’ laps
living loud

RING AROUND THE ROSIES
circle round
sing, “ashes…ashes…”
and fall down

LEARNING CURVE
life up there
in the lusty air
now seems strange

GONE WITH THE WIND
scattering
the old bats’ ashes
to the wind

REBORN
phoenix lands
a bitty wiser
and lighter
