Fifteen Haiku about the Farmers Market

Friday Fifteen

1. 7 am early
Are there any good things left?
not enough to park

2. Lush ripe tomatoes
smiling from their basket-stand
pick one - happy bite!

3. yeast/sugar odor
tantalyzing everyone
drawn to this stall now

4. elderly woman
fights cane against young mother
with fancy stroller

5. How much is the price?
As much as you'll pay for it
You put the herbs down.

6. Heirloom vegetables
organic everything - quick!
Catch before they're gone

7. No cookies yet, Love.
It's before breakfast - too soon.
tears trail down sad face.

8. Cheese! Fresh mozzarella
Just made this morning - still warm
salt wash delicious

9. Proud she sits with sweet
potato pies and home-baked
muffins - her offer

10. Blueberry lady
Always makes me glad she smiles
talks her week and mine

11. Peaches in August
Zucchini in July - fresh
Greens in rainy spring

12. Rain heavy on roof
Will business still be enough?
Farmers stand worried

13. Tantre Farm - best!
My CSA home-bounty
Vegetables galore

14. Savor warm berries
hot bread with melting icing
wash with strong coffee

15. Everyone you know
Will stop here on sunny days
early risers or not

Okay... I'm suckered into it! I'm entering Leslie's Haiku Buckaroo Contest!
