Clocklike Footwork Haiku
weekday
school-office workout
non-stop on-the-clock lock-step fanciful footwork
afternoon
knocking about town
bottoms of feet locked to my Birkenstock cork-tops
evening
lounging about house
worn out, both feet propped on my olive ottoman
weekend
lolling on campground
feet dropping from my hammock
clock stopped for re-stock
Kim, what fun--all the busyness of your feet and footwear, like clockwork. Nice job finding so many /o/ sounds to fill in your rhymes of the -ocks. So playful and fun to read. Sweet photo too.
ReplyDeleteDear Kim: the rhythms and magnificent sonics of your poem make me feel and hear shoes echoing down a hallway, the clock ticking. the plopping down... an absolute delight to read! (I imagine you have a book with you on that hammock).
