Little bird, big song
announcing her intention
straight into my heart.
–Kathryn Harper
One light, one journey–
an unsullied oracle
from which to woo lore.
–Kathryn Harper
An urban prison–
hopelessness creates the bars,
hardship is the guard.
–Kathryn Harper
Water chisels rock–
nature’s Michaelangelo,
moving masterpiece.
–Kathryn Harper
You grace us briefly,
a delicate, velvet life–
fleeting renewal.
–Kathryn Harper
Oh Little One: Four Haiku
That brave little neck,
the stem of a sunflower;
your brain is blooming.
—–
Your luscious curved cheek
is a small apple that begs
for tender kisses.
—–
The tree sapling back
nourishes roots and branches;
may it grow mighty.
—–
Hands touch but don’t clutch
like curious mice seeking
their fortune in cheese.
–Kathryn Harper
How I love her!
