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
______________
