Vines Gardens Haiku 5

Fuzzy hanging fruit

and a twisted, knotty trunk--

what is this strange plant?

Vines Gardens Haiku 4

Abandoned hothouse

at the edge of the gardens--

weeds prosper there now.

Three Vines Gardens Haiku

Selfie by the lake

as summer makes its exit

this lazy Wednesday.

Faded red flowers

of plastic still standing watch

the boy now long dead.

Essays left to grade:
sixty. Yet the air is cool,
this swing, inviting.
