Summer Shorts

young lads skipping stones
on Lake Huron’s blue waters
men at work

grey day
overcast
no demarcation
between water and sky

planting apple trees
in field of dreams
bordered by green woods

 

Visitors

every summer
pretty yellow goldfinches
fly in
for a few weeks in July

then
just as quickly
they are gone

 

haiku

purple irises
bloom so tall outside grey door
Van Gogh’s legacy
