Childhood Haiku

winding road home
my childhood
left in the rearview



Added:

moon and stars
not one that moves ...
midnight silence


Added:

morning stroll
a butterfly rides the tail
of my old dog


Added:

sunlit field trip
a school of pond koi
slipping in and out


Added:

train tracks
fading in the twilight fog ...
words half-spoken


Added:

rain on the roof
my child’s shoes by the door
no longer fit
