Haiku by Neil Ellman


Poet
 
we make poetry
we dream metaphors and light
yet no one knows our names


Trouble
 
troubled paradise--
storm clouds gather in the east
accept the swirling wind


Pain
 
petals from a rose
picking clovers four by four
flowers, too, feel pain


Moonlight
moon halts in its course
irony of hidden sun
how soft your lips
 
 
 
Reflections
 
not myself at all
not that image in the glass--
I was so much more
 
 
 
Twice nominated for Best of the Net, as well as for the Rhysling Award from the Science Fiction Poetry Association, Neil Ellman writes from New Jersey.  He has published scores of haiku and related poems in such journals as High Coup Journal, Ten Pages Press, Haiku Journal, IndeArts, and Three Line Poetry, among others.
