My Dear Friends:
Now, all issues of A Hundred Gourds, which were rendered in PDF form, are available at The Haiku Foundation. There are excellent haiku, senryu and tanka by many well-known poets, some of who have passed away, but are not forgotten.
Selected Poems
the trill
of insects ... a sound
for every star
Peter Newton
light snow
our footprints
in the wind
Bill Kenney
rising
with the light
lilac breeze
Ann K. Schwader
one night
alone in the cold, fast river
of an adult dream
I struggle to reach the shore
with only grief to hold onto
Susan Constable
ephemera
even as it is spoken
the word fades...
for you, the symmetry
for me, the wings
Claire Everett
"One world at a time,"
Thoreau said
just before he died;
in the moonlight
I draw you close to me
Marian Olson
by moonlight
through the screen window
my lover climbs
in the darkness
between the sheets
Hortensia Anderson
leaves spinning to the ground
the PM denies
climate change
LeRoy Gorman
The white cat a shadow of night
Jack Galmitz
belly dancer
the glitter of gold
in her navel
Susan Constable
I stretch my wings
and glide into a white
expanse of silence
this ache of tears unburdened
by a gull's cry
Claire Everett
the zigzag path
of indecision . . .
squirrel tracks
across light snow
leading nowhere
Kirsty Karkow
at game time
my son can't find his glove ...
the smell of dust
as I search for something
to say to my ex-wife
Ken Slaughter
Something about him
opens the doors of my ears
and I listen –
beyond his laughter and wit
a man who weeps
Marian Olson
gathering speed
with each crest and curve
on this unknown road
who let cancer
behind the wheel?
David Terelinck
smudged ink
on his postcard
not tears
but rain falling
in the miles between us
Sheila Sondik
to be continued ...
