A set of five haiku

-


watching me
intently plant a tree—
my son

-

not much
more than a stick
with leaves

-

tall enough
for a bird
but not a swing-

-

father and son
laughing beneath
whispering leaves

-

me and the tree
both miss my dad
this autumn evening

Oh, one thing - at the top it still says 'a set of four haiku', but now it should say five. Just thought I'd let you know!
