III. Original Haiku from our Subscribers
*************************************************************
(11) crow pitching cut grass
this way and that
busy in the dawn
(1) Refreshing shower
Pours from my watering can
Catching a rainbow
(3) a green wheat field grows
between long strands of barbed wire
drones a crop duster
(5) traffic lights,
Queens Boulevard; slow rise
and fall of surf
(4) surrounded by empty hangers
coat check girl alone
this warm spring night
(10) The simple pleasure
of blooming geraniums
lifts my eyes from work.
(7) Grey and yellow clouds.
Morning sky fragrant with earth.
Ground littered with rain.
(11) in this light through the
curtain, almost like snow:
cherries' early blossoms
(1) Midday,
Middle of the street:
Leaf-fall
(2) Translucent dogwood
blossoms whisper in the day,
quivering in the sun.
(10) The wall glows:
Sunset and street light
combining.
(6) star window mirror star
(12) Misplaced . . .
There between Hardy and Homer
A slim haiku book.
(11) little dog
nothing but railroad
tracks, big moon
(1) Evening prayer call:
Voices colour the spaces
Outlined by swallows
(9) Jet flies overhead
Drawing a deep thread of sound
Through the wide sky.
(10) Last year's dog rose
cut back to woody stumps
explodes again.
(8) as she stepped closer
he noticeably started to flush--
moonlit summer night
(3) shopping in the mall
in the maddening bustle. . .
cheerful little kids
(12) Withdrawing my hand
The tiniest drop of blood
In place of the rose.
(3) gently I paddle
parting early morning mists
startled deer and I
(11) day pour tings in you til yr broken;
go on to pour
cause you so leaky
