The Nevada Poems: Pickup Haiku

Pickup Haiku

     1

High country springtime

Muddy trucks on rutted roads

Daffodils in snow.

     2.

County road truck dust

One who loves you is in sight.

Buckaroo love note.

     3.

Ranch wives in pickups

Crew cab with groceries and kids

Saturday in town.

     4.

Men leaning on trucks

The cow dog seems to listen

The sun warms their backs.

     5.

Labor Day weekend

Pickups headed to Elko

The haying is done.

     6.

High country autumn

Deer lying in pickup beds

Covered in white cloth.
