And some of my haiku and tanka are featured on VerseWrights's homepage:
he slashes
the shifting shadow
on the wall
below his attic room
an alley dog barking
a shooting star
streaking across the sky
loneliness
sneaks into my room
and mounts on my body
the weight of her name...
on a blade of plum grass
morning frost
flies buzzing...
a one-man funeral
in my head
You can read more of my haiku and tanka on its website
Many thanks for your continued support of my project.

The last haiku alludes to the following poems by Emily Dickinson:
ReplyDeleteI heard a Fly buzz (465)
I heard a Fly buzz – when I died –
The Stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air –
Between the Heaves of Storm –
The Eyes around – had wrung them dry –
And Breaths were gathering firm
For that last Onset – when the King
Be witnessed – in the Room –
I willed my Keepsakes – Signed away
What portions of me be
Assignable – and then it was
There interposed a Fly –
With Blue – uncertain stumbling Buzz –
Between the light – and me –
And then the Windows failed – and then
I could not see to see –
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, (340)
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb -
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space - began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here -
And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down -
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing - then -
