Haiku by Linda M. Crate


april rains
phoenix rise
rainbow dance.


autumn gold
leaves of the past
singing now.


blue lipped
angel of ice
burning.


feathers
stories untold
wing away.


nova burning
remember me
dreaming.

Haiku by Stefanie Bennett


The lesser evil
never gets caught unless
the altar-wine sours


Time didn't learn to fly -
she chose a Harley
side-car instead
