I see myself
in the shape of a leaf...
falling

Haiku News

I have recently discovered a new and exciting online project called 'Haiku News'
It is presented in the format of a newspaper and seeks to capture world-wide news items in the haiku (and related) form (s), with links to relevant articles.
Submissions are being sought right now and I would encourage you to take a look and then possibly send a poem or two along for consideration.

like the ocean
there are depths
in my heart
that will remain
forever unknown

Modern English Tanka V3 No3 Spring 2009

autumn equinox -
I leave the dandelion clock
wishing for nothing

a red leaf falling
louder
than a thousand drums

Inspired by a Frank Williams Haiga

overcast -
pointing out sunflowers
my youngest son

early autumn -
in only a few short days
these leaves have turned
for change in you
I've waited a lifetime

Modern English Tanka V3 No3 Spring 2009

on your lips
is it the promise of spring
that you bear
or just an illusion
of the winter sun

Modern English Tanka V3 No4 Summer 2009

autumn dusk -
one hundred million dreams
beneath our feet

morning walk -
the shape of windfalls
in dew

following three swans
at dawn
the river's silence
