Selected Haiku of Robert Major

 

silent Friends meeting . . .
the sound of chairs being moved
to enlarge the circle

The sense that a wind
is sweeping through the rooms . . .
The Van Gogh Museum

Beach cottage bedroom . . .
waiting for the beam of light
to sweep the room again

reading by lamplight;
sounds of a summer night
press against the screen

the flute’s first notes . . .
three lavender petals fall
from the arrangement

Pumpkin carving . . .
a ring of grinning faces
around the table

two red cedars
joined in their early years —
grown apart with age

Eighty-five years old . . .
what is one to do with
all these memories?

reaching a wide stream . . .
the trail continues
on the other side
