Chen-ou
Selected Haiku
(r)egret along the riverbank acid rain
Marianne Paul
frog on lily-pad
reflecting
frog on lily-pad
Ed Baker
all day winter rain...
scenes from the passing year
reflected in the pane
Rebecca Drouilhet
summer sale
adjusting her bra
in the shop window
Ignatius Fay
face to face
with the wailing wall . . .
an empty bench
Rita Odeh
northern lights
just beyond the reach
of my walking stick
kjmunro
morning mist
how thin the veil
between here and gone
Munira Judith Avinger
full moon --
darkness flickers at each turn
of the prayer wheel
Sonam Chhoki
on the tundra
caging a winter sky
caribou bones
Debbie Strange
moonbow ...
in a grain of wheat
a farmer’s song
Sandip Chauhan
Deep into winter
writing poems I can share
with no one
Sylvia Forges-Ryan
Independence Day --
I let him touch
a little bit of me
Fay Aoyagi
from a lifted oar
a shimmer connects the sky
and sunlit river
Beverley George
the flutter
of a butterfly --
her first ballet
Karen O’Leary
damp morning
a gray yard
before the robin
Marion Clarke
Fukushima --
a kingfisher catches
stained moonbeams
Judit Katalin Hollos
bus stop
a plastic bag jellyfishing
in the breeze
Ben Moeller-Gaa
It could be nothing
it could be something
winter darkness
Peggy Heinrich
bare branch
the shape of everything
but the bird
S.M. Abeles
spring skies
even the crow's caw
full of light
Kris Lindbeck
moss-covered rocks ...
mother never talks about
the one that died
Irene Golas
one after the other
three crows become one
with the fog
Larry Kimmel
acres of darkness
outside, inside
then a firefly
Angelee Deodhar
Inspiration
for haiku comes from the seasons, reading, conversations, or other
experiences. But don't write about your emotions. Instead, write about
what caused your emotions. That makes all the difference.
