(Four haikus composed for circular application on the labels of a four-CD set given to a young friend.)

 HAIKUS FOR HARRY

1. Trails to the top, sweet flowers.

Lust drives, craft circles.

Tight turns. Rest.

2. Swallow tale, but no swift.

Storyteller sleeps.

Waterfall. Dive.

3. Sally and a thorn.

Roses grow wild.

Cut the stem. Sleep.

4. Dog and butterfly:

Old tail new.

Bark and bark. Sing.
