The Quick 'N Easy Route to Poetry

two birds on one rock—
one pond, one sun, one walker
looking for someone



singing to blossoms—
cutleaf daisy, meadow pink—
and they’re singing back



unlit beauty shop—
I peek into the window—
two people inside!



rain shaking the trees—
inside, we’re reading about
how to live longer



Well, I’m no poet.
A haiku is my limit.
How many syllables?
