Haiku by Melissa Davis

 
staring at the twists
of a thousand year oak tree
I am a zygote

Haiku by Kim Peter Kovac


shimmering sunlight
on the waves of the river
eyes squinting from glare


the crisp morning wind
ruffling the dog's shaggy fur
rainstorm approaches


writing poetry
in a specified structure:
what liberation!


the writing of verse
while seeking out the quirky
how lovely and fun

Two Haiku by Denny E. Marshall



Her eyes flash like stars
Little diamonds shinning bright
Yet so far away



Heart grows silver wings
Soars up high into the clouds
Rain of pumping beats
