I am not big on manufactured holidays, but in honor of Daughter’s Day, I repost this haiku, which features my daughter, Lauren in 2011.
Three Rivers Market
Ode to an eggplant,
Locally grown. Daughter holding,
about to take home.

Fall
Fall paints the maple, /
a blush of red to its summer green. /
Then the bright leaves fall.

Loudly
The birds belch loudly /
verses on the morning sun. /
The earthworms rejoice.

Faces
At the wishing well, /
most people make wishes. /
Others make faces.

Eyes
From the dark, eyes peer /
into the rising, warm day. /
Questions fall like leaves.

Hose
Garden hose and cat /
not pleased with where it’s at. /
Curled and claws for a spat.

Few
The last few beans /
and a few young tomatoes /
of the few days left.

Waiting
Empty park swings hang /
beneath white ripe clouds, waiting /
for chains to rattle.

Night light
Pale light, pole light. /
Moon light, sliver in the night. /
Sun light far from sight.

The wild
The wild heart still lives, /
among the tamed yards it prowls, /
its eyes summer bright.
