haiku sequence

 

           State Fair

the older woman
winning the barrel race
dragonfly
 

amidst the crowd
the scent of a single rose
people's choice
 

funhouse mirror laughing we forget the tumors
 

all the people
gawking at the giant pumpkin
a horsefly claims it
 

      the tilt-a-whirl his lopsided grin
 

the aging carny
takes another ticket
faded tattoo
 

the roller coaster's
ups and downs
autumn sunset
 


Bob Redmond
