HAIKU

Jari Thymian

 

fresh snow, two
old women make
laughing snow angels
 
   
  afternoon sun
through reading glasses
Tinkerbell on every page
   
my eyes drift lakeward
to islands of new ice
fringed by cormorants
 
   
  in every season
the magpie pecks
at my thoughts
 
caterpillar feast . . ..
does the thinning willow
recognize her shadow?
