Summer Haiku

The same tree --
a second nesting of robins
learns the same songs


Summer reunion –
chasing  up and down
the family tree


Faded photograph
I stare back
at my grandfather's blind gaze


Clouds again today
a single morning glory
the color of sky


Daylily garden
the orange tail of the cat
wanders here and there


Night of falling stars
candles on the birthday cake
refuse to blow out
c.p.
