United Haiku and Tanka Society, Songbirds Waka Online Journal, 2025

in the final
blue vestiges of night
a vixen's eyes
flashing like mine before
I lean into your kiss


the flames
of autumn foliage
ignite
so too this memory
of a love forgotten


night descends
and fireflies light up
the meadow
you trace a star map
across my belly


curtains
of clematis hide us
from view
let us lie together
a little while longer


restlessness
seeps into my blood
come autumn
how far must I roam
in search of your heart
