Sunday in the park with Sonny

 



Sonny Rollins practicing in the park.  I wrote a few haiku based on it. 


following

the sax player’s fingers

light flurries


open horn case

catching more snow

than notes


swirling around 

the bell of his sax

snow flakes


the weight of flakes

the sax man’s hands

even in gloves


brushing the flakes

off our shoulders

the sax man


cloudy

with a chance of flurries

Sonny blows


falling softly

across the sidewalk

Sonny’s left foot


whitening

the branches of the trees 

Sonny’s solo
