Haiku 10.31

Sun glints off copper
roofs, plays on leaves, but shadows
over the pathway.

Haiku 10.30

heavy night loud storms
the heart a labored muscle
fighting against stones

so early the sun
still sleeps and a low, dark wind
calls out to the clouds

Each day her steps grow

older; she dances on sidewalks —

Your steps do not move.

Warm air rustles through
dropped leaves, warms the last of the
portulaca blooms

Late afternoon wind
worries the last red leaf, blows
loose thinning white hair

Young man gives his seat

to the girl whose eyes crinkle

her thanks with her smiles
