Our Mother

Always adamant
passionate she made her rules
in the kitchen & elsewhere
& from her lips important words
would rise while stirring a brainchild

. . . we'd listened too
to pots & pans & free-form thoughts
simmering & What Mom would do

So Much To Tell You

So much to tell you my love
hoping my uttered words
through an open window
become wings or autumn leaves
planing down to earth at your feet

World Series Haiku

Balloons to explode!
No easy way to describe
Yankees well alive!
