her Barbie's beach day
right at the start of summer
pass the play sunscreen

gray skies, gray buildings
rain as gray as sheetrock
downtown afternoon

jury pool haiku -5/28/09

"let justice be done"
even if a few snore
jury pool waiting

triangle park
across from the courthouse
pigeons eating lunch

a baby held
so tenderly by her
as both slumber

fresh blueberries
with each bite I taste summer
-- and stain my shirt

spring flowers in bloom
bright colors please the eyes
pollen makes them itch

flowers in bloom
beautiful colors, lovely scents
achoo -- pollen

a centipede
must take forever
to tie his shoestrings

strawberries takeover
produce shelves in Florida
early summer treats

jumbo red raisins
so plump and juicy
mid-morning snack

mango trees
heavy with yellow buds
summer fruit feast

Pigeons

Pigeons dive bomb
my aging Pontiac
with deadly aim - splat!

a gopher peeks out
from its hole near the live oak
and goes right back in
