walking with my father
under a starry sky
his poetic voice
resounds in my ears
On a walk to Kirke Park, Seattle, with my 5-year-old grandson, we share and revel in the natural and living wonders that we encounter: leaves turning; the smile and greeting of a stranger; the watchful eyes of a tabby cat in the alley; the ah so sweet red raspberries, ripe to pluck; the baby snail in the garden; a fragrant lavender bush with hordes of bumblebees buzzing in and out; the luminous white daisies with yellow hearts.
He points his little hand, chatting excitedly at everything he sees; and I pause to look at these wonders through his eyes.
despite entropy…
the quantum soup
bubbles afresh
as he holds my hand
to cross the road
Thanks to dear Julie Bloss Kelsey for including me in this display of 52 haiku poets on the Haiku Foundation.
This was in response to Julie’s question—which published haiku of yours speaks “This Is Me”.
Below is mine, which speaks for itself!
