At The Local Precinct (age 1yr)👶🏻
( a haiku renga )
endless stretch of street
noonday sun on cut green grass
my first walk alone
•🌿👶🏻🌱•
two nice men in black
stop in a big black and white
one lifts me — Daddy?
•🌿👶🏻🌱•
a young officer
feeds me from a pudding cup
Mom bursts in, I laugh
endless stretch of street
noonday sun on cut green grass
my first walk alone
•🌿👶🏻🌱•
two nice men in black
stop in a big black and white
one lifts me — Daddy?
•🌿👶🏻🌱•
a young officer
feeds me from a pudding cup
Mom bursts in, I laugh

Vietnam still raged;
Fireworks triggered air-raid
sirens in Italy.
False alarm , but still...
I hid beneath the bed, scared,
awaiting our fate.

On His 20th Month
Fearful of father,
crawls under bed covers, nests
up mother's belly...

DANGLING LEAFROLLER
On papa's shoulders
near the cows and blackberries—
is that worm floating?

In Yellow
I was five years old
I saw her getting ready
Mom was in yellow
And her jet black hair
Cascaded on her shoulders
Mom was full of youth

Mom was in yellow
And her jet black hair
Cascaded on her shoulders
Mom was full of youth

Congratulations, Jade!
You sit well upon your rock and the howling winds and pelting rains cannot crumble your stronghold.
That was a great showing.
Sincerely
cab
