the escape velocity of panicked sparrows
nearly all of me sitting with the sunny low-hop clover
how the green of the forest waits
a tall man standing in a field of radiant canola flowers
the deep night loss of hard geometries
cosmos dizzy with raindrops and breezes
out of the sun beneath the pines a change of scent
one less croquet player today
getting didactic with the pigeons in Takinosawa Park
a praying mantis born with her dukes up
the farmer's hands on his hips stretching back
apple blossoms eloping with the breeze
another boy has discovered a rainbow in an oil slick
back up pen after back up pen my arithmomania
One thought on “Poetry from Patrick Sweeney”
These are well crafted and wonderful monoku. Would love to see more by this haiku poet.
