Is gone now, but still in mind

And Now For Something A Little Different
The Summer Of My Bean Plant
by Edward S. Gault
When
I was
a little boy,
our
teacher gave
us bean seeds
To
plant in
the small milk
cartons
we had
just used during
snack.
We put
soil in each
carton,
then buried
the seeds a
half
inch under
the surface. We
put
them all
in the window,
So
they could
catch the sun's
rays,
and grow.
We checked on
them
each day,
I can remember
seeing
the first
little leaf peaking
through
the dirt
in my carton.
It
seemed to
take forever-but
by
the last
day of school,
We
had tall
bean plants that
we
could take
home for the
summer.
I put
mine in the
window
of my
room facing the
backyard
where I
spent all my
time
when I
was not in
camp.
When I
came home,
I
found it
had wilted some
because
I was
not there to
water
it. I
took it out
to
the yard
and re-planted it.
I
could still
see it growing
there
from my
window. Its leaves
would
move with
the breeze, like
It
was waving-
saying thank you.

Looking Back
Looking through albums, All photos were sepia toned
- I had known that world.

Tuesday's Grind
Chasing small details,
Achieving more on less mind

Don't Let Down Your Guard!
They would come at night,
Many people disapeared
-learn to sleep with fear.
Parents and children
Lay side by side on boardwalk
-where they drank Kool-aid.
She sits on the porch,
Waiting for her ride to prom
-he goes with her friend.
Christmas by fireside,
Hessians toast the holiday
-Washinton attacks!
Praying in garden:
Not my will, but yours be done!
-Judas come with kiss.
He surfaced to eat,
Gulls flocked down, they threw harpoons
-running him through side.
We watched the t.v.
Knowing our candidate won!
-next day:total shock.
Murphy's Haiku #36
A nice sunny day
Then, as I'm leaving, it rains!
-forgot umbrella.
