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)
