haiku for july 4th, 2009, illinois usa
hot illinois fourth
corn of all sizes shimmering
spring planting stories
kickapoo bottoms
bobcat's tracks pressed deep in mud
poet's mind gone blank
minor league baseball,
packed stadium, sea of cub
jerseys, fourth fireworks
outside of use,
rolling hills, shaded valleys;
sunny, lazy fourth
illinois river,
night settles on weedy banks;
folks wait for fireworks
river bank wildflow'rs;
overgrown blooms hide car's nose-
we've gone in for fish
(7-09)
