what could be sweeter
ripe golden ears of corn or
child’s buttery face?
walking through ditch grass
sun smiles on up-turned faces
dandelion gold!
cup of soothing tea
facing toward open curtains
golden warmth of sun.
pure iowa gold

All sounds great! I spent a fair amount of time in Iowa as a child and remember that golden light. Thanks. K.

I love your poems Lynn… so easy to picture. You’ve motivated me to write one myself sometime soon; probably not haiku though. Diane
