brown bunny

the alliteration

in its hop hop hop

soft kiss

a morning brush

of sunlight

narcissus...

how you force me

to look at you

peat bog days

the dead creep into

conversation

Hundred billion stars in the galaxy

peering only at the Polaris.

Eyeballs catching the Kingfisher

flying from tree to tree.

Stayed to see the sun disappear

to watch my love: Lupus constellation.

reaped harvest —

my teenager says hello

to the homeless woman

Kelly Sargent



the childhood I wish I had dandelion puff

Kelly Sargent



wild fig tree

bent seaward —

how I long

once more

to long

this solitude…

a cloud cloaking my days

with ease

the silence no word

wants to escape

Rita Melissano



sitting

on a slice of moon

she smiles

without feeling the sharp

edge of the dark side


Rita Melissano


writing

on the mind’s walls

all is lost

the red ink of a heart lasts

forever like a swan feather

Rita Melissano



endless sky...

where

the sun goes to sleep

city co-op garden –

not even my own

empire of dirt

horrible day –

my haiku

grow fangs

wolf moon

a solitary daffodil

waves in the wind

first vulture . . .

imagining the past lives

of this old pine


Kristen Lindquist



sun halo

the overlapping orbits

of vultures in flight


Kristen Lindquist



lazy creek . . .

the morning air hazy

with willow fluff

Today Is International Haiku Day

mountain town

help wanted signs

in every window

summer heat

a box of my things

on her front porch

weeding where should I begin

spring full moon

brightens the garden

yesterday's laundry

bird singing

goes silent for a moment

woodcutter's axe

sun rays penetrate

the empty attic

warming cobwebs
