In Still Air

one high note

then a few more

hesitant


brief piping of a recorder

in the hands of the child

across the road


suddenly stopped 


a small music

yet full of hope



Written for Friday Writings #128 at Poets and Storytellers United, where we are invited to write about something small. I decided to write mine in the small form I've been playing with lately: textu (160 characters exactly, including title and spaces).

A couple of haiku for the road


storm days –

roads impassable

again


*


still don’t see

the end of the road, but

it narrows




(Both written 25 February 2024, but posting delayed until NaHaiWriMo 2024 finished.)


Also shared at 'Haiku on the Road,' a facebook group administered by Tad Wojnicki – inspired by Jack Kerouac, and also encompassing 'the road of life.' An anthology of participants' pieces, selected by Tad, is in the works.

LEAP YEAR

it’s always me 

who pops the leading  questions —

can’t bear to wait

(1)


I was taught:

try to put yourself

in their shoes



(2)


thinking

how they'd feel turns me
