crows at dawn
the widow's
recurring dream

cold moon
a hole in the sole
of my slipper

Modern Haiku 44.3

rejection
where i least expect it
blackthorn blossom

explaining haiku
to my mum...
spring rain

Modern Haiku 43:2

autumn wind
the slant in the handwriting
of my former self

i rephrase
a poem...
windblown leaves

the other end of the war fat man

alpine lake
the smell of coconut
from someone's sunscreen

lost friend
driftwood tossing
in the surf

beachfront palms
bending in the wind
vacation's end

Haiku Harvest 2006

torn cobweb
he tells me
he'll never marry

distant whale song
the captive orca
jumps through a hoop

mosquitoes
come uninvited —
picnic on the beach

shades of autumn
the homemade kite
too heavy to fly

fog lingers
a wrong name on the note
intended for me

midday heat
the white glare of a sail
between islands
