Trying so no

Or, September 14th
The poetry element of this blog has been in hibernation. Going to try writing some haikus every day. Check out Tricycle's cool new haiku corner.

the heavy statue
stands all day holding the door
so light can come in


seventieth birth-
day something's needed— peaches
deep in pie's warm nest


every morning this
bag of pastries is reborn
its breath butter-sweet


weathered bookstore door
used to stand and look for you
who won't ever come


same old book without
the same old cover doesn't
feel like same old book


your bicycle is
the best bicycle! here, hold
my heart while I ride

I wondered if there was a response to one of these:

He walked the narrow
streets to the bookstore, many
times, full of longing.


Maybe the title is something like, "Synchronous Misses" or "Near Misses" or something like that :-)
