Plain Haiku

Sharing some Haiku I’ve written about the Plain Folk, the Amish.

wheels spin hooves clatter

Amish buggies traveling

older ways endure

corn grows tall and green

Amish quilts hang on clothes lines

wheat shocks stand in rows

wide brimmed pale straw hats

black pants primary hued shirts

Amish men and boys

woman’s white bonnet

bright blouse black long-skirted dress

Amish modesty

in darkness of night

horse hooves break the night’s silence

a late traveler

full long whiskered chins

Amish husbands and fathers

farmers and craftsmen

lined faceless dollies

wrapped in small bright colored quilts

fresh shoofly pies cool

hedgerow of roses

fields of long furrowed brown rows

red barn oasis

old door with dark stains

eons of use on display

ornate brass hinges

hay stacks and corn shocks

homes with curtainless windows

barnyard stored buggy

barn beams and rafters

thick hand-hewn rock foundation

shows Plain craftsmanship
