Personal Best
transience . . .
petal by petal
we let go
Winning Haiku, Canada - 2017 Vancouver Cherry Blossom Haiku Invitational
Modern Haiku
soft rain
the lily and I with stars
in our throats
homeless
wet leaves seal the holes
in his boots
out-breath . . .
a sheet of glass falls
from my paddle
rush hour
the quiet helicopters
of maple seeds
rolling thunder
kiss-curls at the base
of your neck
office windows
the mountains will wait
for me
the blue eyes
of African daisies
how I miss you
pond ice
the things we lost
last summer
Hokku
early thaw
the morning chimes
of waxwings
hoodoo spires . . .
a buck's antlers tinged
with sunset
shell fragments
the chirps of otters
in the dark
