Corn

from withered kernels
acres of green will tassel
if there is water.

roots anchor, leaves shade
ears flare from rows of tall stalks
if there is water.

A ubiquitous crop of corn in June 2019 in Sussex County, DE.

A long time ago I thought I would become a chemist! I have been in the world of science throughout my years. I think writing and particularly haiku and its forms are like chemistry. They are a distillate of a larger mass and require some technique and work to arrive there. I am a chemist/poet.
