Haiku by Mary Orovan

apricots
furry angelic
orange


in a few days
spring painted herself
ecstatic


the madly
colorful death cries
of leaves


Reverse Haiku:

he was the rainbow
of my life
and the blueberries

Haiku by Les Merton

girl on mobile phone
plaits hair with freehand fingers
her eyes comb escape


newspaper reader's face
reflects the seriousness of text
a buddhist meditates

Haiku by ayaz daryl nielsen

my period of time

sixty-five and some years wide

weather-brown and creased

snowdrift agenda

         this city’s quiet moments

a poem revisioned   

all our grey hairs

laughter when we hear the

gossip about us
