Reflections
Haiku
by Stephen Colgan
the plum tree's effort
to put forth its frail blossoms
sets spring in motion
workmen in the park
leave dark scars in the green grass
they know
it grows back
in the rainy months
blades of new green grass sprout up
wherever
they can
ravens in treetops
comment on me as I pass
untranslatable
way out on the pier
some men talk loudly of fish
the fish ignore
them
squinting at the sun
from beneath my umbrella-
the forecast said
rain
