Haiku by Denny E. Marshall


Ten thousand spaceships
Hover like colored balloons
Rainbow invasion


Do not want to see
The end of the world began
Will wait for movie




Denny E. Marshall has had poetry recently published and rejected.

Haiku by Joan McNerney


What does this cat think
strumming his tail with such ease
to fugues of Bach?

The morning mist roams
back and forth like a
voiceless wanderer.

Shy autumnal bird
did you brush against the moon
to get that pale down?

Try to catch the wind.
Count the ripples in the sea.
Become a child again.

Haiku by Suchoon Mo


Haiku After Santoka
 
full moon
an old man is peeing
on his own shadow
the destiny with no destination
the road is empty
 
frost on the ground
I cremate dead wood
in the cast iron stove

Haiku by Ronny Noor


 
raindrops
falling on palm fronds
my heartbeat
 
 
your swishing gown –
the rustle
of spring leaves
 
 
returning late
from her evening class –
children in bed
 
 
sudden thunder –
skateboarders
across the wooden bridge
 
 
goggled worker
drilling the road
my sore mouth
 
 
 
Ronny Noor’s haiku have appeared in several journals, including paper wasp, the Aurorean, and World Haiku Review. He is the author of a novel, Snake Dance in Berlin (2009), and numerous essays and stories. He lives in Brownsville, Texas.

Haiku by Denny E. Marshall


As fried to a crisp
The disappointed scientist
Thought the sun would last


Space Exploration
Wish it were a computer
Would be almost there


The trees have wind
For branches to wave goodbye
To all humans


Visitors’ genuine handshake
As long as they can remember
Each a nuclear blast


Drivers’ education
Easy to fell uncomfortable
In warp drive spaceship


Denny E. Marshall has had poetry recently published and rejected.

Haiku by Ali Znaidi

              

                 little waves
[s]lapping the side of the boat

shadows on the wall


***

a night party—

worms were feasting

on a rotten beetroot


***

                 atop

     the mulberry leaves

silkworms were weaving

        dreams on looms


***

the noun dream

a few bare letters

succumbing to fresh water
