Lake Anne – Selected haiku

20 May 2021 – II

young goose family
surveys artificial
lake that they call home

inhaled all the grass

pollen while identify-

-ing. I’m allergic.

stayed away from these

boats to avoid exposure

to BOATVID-19

goslings peek out from
under parent’s wing, observe
native plants at night

before Isaias
landed, an orange sunset,
reflected in lake

sun setting over
Lake Anne; idyll except for
the humidity
