planning period

eyelids so heavy
drag down my entire head
to sleep on my desk

haiku

orange sun behind
pale full moon floating ahead
i’m in the middle

senryu

missing church again
is my girl’s soul in peril?
we need some prayers

swim meet

hurry up and wait
long boredom/brief excitement--
another swim meet

friday!

week’s finally over
nothing gets me down today--
gotta love fridays!

senryu

a beautiful day
too pretty to be in school--
i’m playing hooky

haiku

grey clouds hover low
beneath them fog hugs the ground--
above them the sun

senryu

with trembling hands,
he reaches for communion--
with a child’s pure faith

which way?

new horizons loom
the past unravels behind--
which way will i go?

haiku

it seems so like spring
a warm January day--
sign of days to come?
