.
It was with awe
That I beheld
Fresh leaves, green leaves,
Bright in the sun.
.
speechless before
these budding green spring leaves
in blazing sunlight
.
to the small poem and the quiet voice within

seems I didn’t pass math
i have always liked haiku and also tanka and other short poems because these poems transcend the few short words that make them up – there is that other poem around the poem – that the reader brings from their own experiences – that allows the words to go beyond the culture they were written in –
enjoyed
after our long Keweenaw winter i can understand the awe
surprised
in the sunlight
new leaves
or any of the myriad of ways we can say this –
peace
