Robert C Funk poetryRobert C Funk says he only began writing poetry as he moved into elderhood. Here is a Haiku he submitted for publication. OroA lone night owl Welcomes the sun Hoot, hoot, hoot . The dawn spring wind Lifts an eagle aloft Crash dive breakfast . Desert mountains The rising sun Is the painter . Awakening at dawn In the wind swept desert Cold bites my chin . Like life Common is uncommon . Robert C. Funk Copyright Unpublished 01162010
