dark

dark eyes

dark eyes of the children

say no

say no don't

say no don't do it

again

say no don't do it

say no don't

say no

dark eyes of the children

dark eyes

Haiku (Set 2)

stone house eaves –
    evening sun
        fills the icicles


morning pours
     glittering
        from the sun

between pine branches
     a half moon floats
         in turquoise

along the walk
     the almond's white petals –
         where was I going?

through green rocks

       golden fish flash –

              my life slips by
