10 Haiku

Bright orange poppies 
exploding out of a crack
in the paving stones

I don’t stop the cat
from swatting at a big fly
razzing through the house

Warm late spring night—
against a lavender sky
shadow people pass

*

New lemon blossoms—
the cat rolling in the dirt,
its coat shinier

The sun’s reflection
in a puddle of water—
soft rain is falling

The cat’s eyes widen
when a fire truck screams by—
fading summer dusk

*

Little black birds poised
on strands of telephone wires
in a huge blue sky

Jade and caramel
pebbles shining on the beach—
my pockets are full

Blinding silver waves
crash and tumble toward the shore—
a surfer rides them

*

Reading old haiku
in the early summer dusk,
cat curled on my lap
