haiku retrospective ccxxxiv

~~~

swarming flies
primary colors
on the clothesline

~~~

clay oven
the smell
of burning bread

~~~

october beetles
a few stalks of grain
stand still

~~~

fading light
a redtail hawk flies low
over the cotton field

~~~

crawdad pond
a thick cloud of dust
behind the pickup

~~~

church potluck
the toddler asks
for a fly swatter

~~~

farm country
the flies don't bother me
until I get them home

~~~

annual party
the children all
one size bigger

~~~
