Sunday in the park with Sonny

 



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


light flurries

the sax player’s

fingers


a horn case

dusted with snow

falling notes


swirling from

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


lining the branches

of each nearby tree

Sonny’s solo


or


whitening

the branches of the trees 

Sonny’s solo
