Jan Allison Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

Windchimes

grandma pours me tea
we talk late into the night 
moon covered by clouds

paint peels from windows
as grandpa rocks in his chair
cigar smoke rises

zephyr wind blowing
shells and wood dance in the breeze
I can hear music

wind chimes tinkling
on a sultry summer night
childhood memories
