Spring Breeze

The following “Haiku from Index Cards” enjoy spring breezes. One of my most well-known haiku is about a spring breeze—see “The Pull of Her Hand.”

spring breeze—

     flowers

          in the folds of your skirt

             (written 1992, published 1993; see “For a Moment,” in which this poem also appeared in 2009)

spring breeze—

my visiting uncle

twirls his moustache

             (written 2022, published 2022)

spring breeze—

the oars fed

into the oarlocks

             (written 1999, published 2018)

spring breeze—

the pull of her hand

as we near the pot store

             (written 2014, published 2015; a parody of my own poem; see “The Pull of Her Hand”)

spring breeze—

the tree’s penumbra

a lighter green

             (written 2011, published 2017)
