Haiku — page 4
yellow raincoats—
farm workers picking
the last of the peppers
Joann Klontz
cherry tomato
the scent from its leaves lingers
on my fingertips
Jennifer Jensen
thistledown
my thoughts carry me
back to sea
Alex Benedict
noon
sunflowers sway
with goldfinches
Cherie Hunter Day
lunch break
a blue dragonfly lights
on the sawhorse
Joann Klontz
sultry evening—
a peacock's plaintive cry
across the flooded field
Elizabeth Howard
yellow jasmine—
arriving chickadees
shake out perfume
Ferris Gilli
overcast morning
the last of the tomatoes
line the windowsill
Rick Tarquinio
slight breeze
all the colors telegraphed
along a spider's line
Christopher Herold
closing time:
zoo animals smaller
than their shadows
