Late Trio

(c) R.L.K.

1. Haiku

A windy morning;
bare branches bend as if to
touch their own shadows.

2. Somebody's Refrain

Take that bottle of whiskey down from the shelf,
Pass it around and let's sing us a few
Of the good old songs. What can we do?
December is here and winter is going to be itself.

3. Tanka

Cold rain. The year is
winding down. You are reading
a book you have read
before. Outside, on the hill,
the pine trees bask in moonlight.
