Haiku — page 2

some of the blackness
into the lake at twilight—
a bat's reflection

Alice Benedict

summer morning
the old dog seems to know
the length of his leash

Jerry Ball

forest road
two cars pass into
each other's dust

Paul MacNeil

warm rain:
a dragonfly shedding
its wingless skin

Cherie Hunter Day

quiet before dawn
in the first sip of coffee
taste of ocean fog

Alice Benedict


 

moonless night
among forest ferns
glowworms

Elizabeth St Jacques

my shadow mixed
with the shadow of a bay
—the scent of heat

Alex Benedict

summer lethargy
a squirrel's slow descent
through the pine

Joann Klontz

goose down on the lake
blowing into water weeds—
my brother's business

Paul Williams

Unpainted fence
the blueness
of morning glories
