CANTALOUPE SO WAITED TO GET MARRIED

i. summer honey don’t, autumn honeydew

every October

I write a haiku how they're

best during this month

ii. when are winter melons ripe?

your

ancient

flame
now  

my wife,

casabas decked out and aimed on the hood of

our old Buick, she still likes to watch meteor

showers
far out

of town
away from

bright lights
