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

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
