Will we…

Will we leave them tools? /

Or will we leave them burdens? /

What World will they see?

April water falls /

Haiku to you Thursday: “Pieces”

Pieces

A piece of pie /

and a haircut; your fingers /

molding crust and cuts.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Blushes”

Blushes

The Iris blushes /

only for the color, not /
