a damn lucky hit
smell of leaves and woodsmoke
safe on first at last

crows in the belfry
cubs in the Series
last days are nigh

smack of a wood bat
echoes in the dusk, a child
safe on first at last

Carp 4/11/15

spring morn– Wife dances

folds up futon, makes coffee

Tigers lost to Carp!

SF Giants Haiku

Homeless persons cheer
Over their hometown team’s win
Even pumpkins grin.

Baseball Haiku

A chilly evening
Fireworks underscore chants
Of “Go, Giants, Go”

Rack of Ages

Where are tiny corner stores
Selling Green Lantern for a dime?
Candy bars a nickel,
Jawbreakers two a penny?

What of paperboys on bicycles?
Arms cocking and fly casting
Ink smeared Chronicles
Into hedges and milk bottles?

They pedal through pine smoke,
Parks of maple and fire cherry;
An echoing smack of a wooden bat
Tells of one, anxious and weary,
Who’s safe at home at last.
