Undainty and Large
Undainty and large:
Vein-trees grow atop old scars
But these are strong hands!
Green Beans
Finger, thumb pinch the
Tops off beans; snip-crisp! snip-crisp!
Says dinner to me.
These poems were written for Big Tent Poetry's weekly prompt on hands.

I especially liked the 'doing' (second haiku) part of your poem. So 'true' I could have thought it was me, preparing my own dinner.
Christine I liked this so much I checked out big tent. Looks like such fun. Haiku's are so much fun this one reminds me of my dad. "Vein-trees grow atop old scars" that was so him! thanks for sharing this!

I love it when so much is said with so few words...and it makes me want to eat fresh green beans!
