Summer Stars

summer starlight . . .

     the featured poet

alone with her stack of books

             (written 2012, published 2012)

summer stars—

a red kayak vibrates

atop a passing car

             (written 2014, published 2022; see “Haiku Forum Haiku,” with Japanese translation)

summer stars . . .

nightbirds gathering

in the darkest fen
