Thirty years gone by
The separate ways untracked
Years melt in our hug.

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.
Great Blue
Perched on the wet dock
graceful heron stretches, flies
gray blue bird and day.

Corn
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.

Merganser
Feathered ones follow
like sticky rice behind her
a tumble of youth.
It was a joy to watch a a common merganser teach her ten babies to move about in their environment. Teaching, trusting, and new experiences happened day by day.
Turtle
This day she finds sand
to dig, not knowing the crow
will feed on soft eggs.
While in Delaware in June, the lake turtles faithfully came ashore to deposit eggs. They dug in the sand, expelled the eggs, covered the dozens of eggs and returned to the water. Often a crow watched, waited and consumed. I felt sorry.
Extraction
I delivered a tooth
A molar Caesarean
Slept through the drama.
The kite
Launched at the seaside,
Slender string tethers the kite,
Longing to be free.

At the Carnival
A ratcheted wheel
slows, stops, by friction, it seems.
Large pink bears remain.

Ronovan Writes Haiku challenge #250 Action and Friction
I don’t know why I wanted to win one of those giant stuffed bears in neon colors at the carnival from the convincing barkers!
The geese
At lakeside, a pair
winging, skimming side by side
tuned in mind and kind.
Ronovan Writes haiku challenge #247 use mind and kind
Snowfall, a haiku poem
Ledges and peaks dress
in untouched, snow-cold splendor
during night’s cover.
