HAIKU
George Hawkins
|
for a guest
tracing the sky:
winter brook |
|
| |
|
| |
endless white
the commas
of gliding cranes |
| |
|
drawn-out sunset
the dog makes a circle
and lies down again |
|
| |
|
| |
sunset
washing the earth
from my hands |
|
|
longest day —
sunset lingers
in a mirror |
|
| |
|
| |
manic phase
finding the right word
where i left it |
| |
|
old pear
the woodpecker
still listens |
|
| |
|
| |
words lost
in a sifted sky
the stars |
|
|
life's ebb —
within closed petals
i dream |
|
| |
|
| |
but for changes,
still caught in the wind
transparent trees |
| |
|
snowbird
a winter spent
in words |
|
| |
|
| |
home
the trees
fill us in |
|
|
her autumn voice …
the wind
in new leaves |
|
| |
|
| |
the texture
of penned words:
first light |
| |
|
cold rain ...
waiting for today
until tomorrow |
|
