Haiku--By Kelley White--United States

ah, mosquitoes

come and join me

this lingering day

______________ 

a red balloon

above the crowd—

remembering

______________ 

at Robert Frost’s place

taking the road less travelled

hermit thrush song

______________ 

even this deep in the woods

ghost

of a stone fence
