Daylilies
crowding each other
for a glimpse of sun

Friday haiku 35

You wonder what life means
while the dice
are still rolling

This is your brain on haiku.

Learn to love sparrows
they said. I did.
Now there’s love on every corner.

Learn to love sparrows
they said. I did.
Now there are starlings.

Learn to love sparrows
they said. I did.
But so did the kestrel.

Learn to love sparrows
they said. I did.
They are jealous lovers.

Learn to love sparrows
they said. I did.
They’re building a condo in the rose garden.

High in a maple
a crow is calling, calling
–nobody home

Heaven and Hell
are but regions of the heart
with disputed borders
