Lindens: Two Haiku and a Tanka

Poems can be sketches too...

 

This street of lindens
weighted with clusters of fruit
brown cherries with wings

 

Great lindens weighted
with their brown wingèd clusters
and old memories.

 

These lindens have seen
so many pass beneath them --
we grow old,
stiffen --
they spread their green arms wider
murmuring intercessions
