Mississippi
River Haiku
green hued aurora
darts above Lake Bemidji
new journey begins
pristine northern lake
golden needled tamaracks
precious water source
morning air, cold hands
light mist rises from
river
slowly fades away
wild asparagus
ferny sprays of golden
flame
warming roadside view
warm sun on my face
dragonfly on my finger
slow moving river
water falls from dam
framed by arch of busy
bridge
rocks on river bank
falling aspen leaves
land on river,
drift away late afternoon
sun
power plant's smokestack
looms high above water's
flow
guarded entrance gate
jet roars overhead
construction truck's loud
booming
robin softly chirps
small river island
travelers from far away
share meaningful talk
on far river bank
gull tears into old fish
flesh
two crows stand watching
quiet night's lodging
old river flows on its
way
leaving me behind
gray morning river
no sunrise in eastern
sky
night dreams drift away
precipitous bluffs
old shore of ancient river
memory remains
quiet sunset scene hills
transformed in waning
light
how am I changing
