Global Haiku • Fall 2015

Memories

by
Garrett Mayberry

These haiku were my favorites from the semester. Not only because I like the way I wrote them, but also because of the spectrum of emotions in these. This has been a journey.

a son in uniform
his father places his hand
on his shoulder

the grand oak
the father
I never knew

as I inhale. exhale.
the towering pines
sway back and forth

snuggling under a blanket
with someone special
falling snow

she forgot her gloves
I gladly invite her
into my coat

her side of the bed
always cold
now vacant

very attractive
G string
on my guitar
