HAIKU

Duo, Trio 2

 

coming dusk the empty space in a coyote's call  
   
  ungentle wind …
grasping
a sudden silence
   
mating squirrels
the steady certainty
of spring

        Linda Pilarski
 
   
  no need
to find time …
this place
 
    no moon
                my mind follows
the wild geese

        Colin Stewart Jones
 
   
  between Genesis
and Revelations —
some bird's perfect pitch
   
seedless watermelon —
as my family eats,
the quiet
 
   
  dervish of leaves
i walk
for the hell of it

        Tyrone McDonald
 
a dirt patch
grandpa's missing
tooth
 
   
  spring sunrise
my sundress
suddenly lifts

        Raquel D. Bailey
 
wind chimes
your gauze curtains
in the moonlight
 
   
  a long walk home
piles of raked leaves
at the orphanage
   
silent night
no sirens on Christmas
in the city of angels

        William Cullen Jr
 
   
  old pond —
a seed
for an empire of string
 
sea cucumber — freedom
foreclosure — umbrella
mandala — petal rain
 
   
  ants begin to look like an idea

        Scott Metz
