Haiku by M.V. Montgomery

sound and sense

A distant horn honked,

defining the contours of
the outside city.

dreaming

This dreaming of mine:

like opening a too-large
umbrella indoors.

a day in the life

Pausing to remove

dry branch caught in soccer net:
morning goaltending.

*

As I plan a lunch,

checking expiration dates
helps me to decide.

*

inadvertently

washing dollar bill in pants:
money-laundering.
