Haiku — page 1

        spring joy
a twig dropped from the bridge
floats to the other side

Jane Reichhold

my son noticing . . .
the attention i pay
to butterflies

John Stevenson

beaded rain
in the crotch of wild cherry
tent caterpillars

Cherie Hunter Day

summer raindrops
she washes her feet
in the grass

Ferris Gilli

to cross the street
he hip-hops the heat waves
suburban crow

Kay F. Anderson

soft breeze–
a pair of butterflies alight
on a stalk of grass

Alex Benedict

in a flash
from sitting to hovering
the hummingbird

Paul O. Williams

Summer Again

summer dawn—
light around the windows
as at grandmother's

early morning
glue sets in the shade
of the old shed

William J. Higginson

gray morning
a spider drags its catch
along the eaves
