Seven Haiku About the Great Lakes

far northern summer
skinnydipping in the lake—
sunshine, making love


above these high cliffs
blackwinged raven croaks and soars—
Superior vistas


all summer long
we boys browned on white sand beach
growing into life


windy summer noon—
sailboats on Lake Michigan
white petals on green


pines near the lakeshore
covering rocks with shadows—
Mackinac Island


music of the heart:
small green frogs in April
calling their mates


long evening shadows
darken cedar cabin walls
as we watch the sky
