the haiku project began as something vague, an elaborate excuse to take a few minutes out of every day to contemplate a single stanza.
and it never had ambitions beyond that.
    slowly, steadily
the passionflower's tendrils
consume the swingset
  finger-paint flowers
taped to living room windows
raindrops splash on sill
 
one-wheeled bicycle
securely locked to street rack
thin layer of dust
   
  august, honey bees
collecting from fading flowers
last drops of summer
 
respond, submit
