days blur by
consumed in work
I forget to live

skin soaking the sun
from vacations I never get

haiku by Megan & link by Uriah

my car’s noise
disappears
when I get to the dealer

stuck on the side of the road
now I’m walking home

haiku by Betty & link by Uriah

•

quick grocery store trip
wearing no make-up . . .
class reunion

she goes to her favorite spa
and gets the full treatment

haiku by Heather & link by Betty

•

batter up
at the chain-linked fence
dad’s smile

afterwards they go to Ben and Jerry’s
everyone fills up with their favorite ice-cream

haiku by Heather & link by Heather

sun setting over the ocean
I enjoy the view
of her bare olive skin

a dolphin leaping
grabs only one's attention

haiku by Megan & link by Emily

•

Grandma takes my hand
we leave footprints in the sand
as we go

the scent of boardwalk food
creeps into my nostrils

haiku by Alizarin & link by Emily

•

shopping for a dress
the flower girl cries
when she can't wear red

prancing down the aisle
a ruby bow in her hair

haiku by Betty & link by Samantha

•

muddy prints across the carpet…
the yellow lab
dipped in chocolate

Little child swipes the bowl
And begins to lick his finger.

haiku by Alizarin & link by Hannah

Ocean’s lullaby
gentle waves
caressing the shoreline

Seagulls on the beach
Are trying to steal another’s lunch.

haiku by Hannah & link by Hannah

shopping for a dress
the flower girl cries
when she can’t wear red

The atmosphere changes when
rose petals cover the floor.

haiku by Betty & link by Hannah

In the fresh snow
A lonely set of footprints
Continue with no end

A doe finds her home
Greeting her babies

haiku by Samantha & link by Heather

Below zero—
The sound of ice cracking
In the night

The wolf stalking its prey
Takes the wrong step, and must chase the rabbit

haiku by Betty & link by Heather

•

summer love
summer fling
only real for one

New Year’s loneliness
ends at dusk

haiku by Emily & link by TJ

•

Ellis Island
Immigrants stand crowded
all alone

piercing cries
she points to her dingy teddy bear

haiku by Hannah & link by Emily

•

the sixties music
so much easier
to dance to

stained white blouse
from impaired cognition

haiku by Hannah & link by Kailey

•

dreaming dog
twitches her paws
chasing squirrels

slobber left on my pillow
drives to the laundry mat

haiku by Heather & link by Kailey

•

since I scolded them
the crows hate me
they don't forget

feathers flutter
a stone sinks into the mud

haiku by Betty & link by Samantha

•

the moon
illuminating the night
understands silent sorrows

the sounds of the coyote
creeping through the forest trees

haiku by Alizarin & link by Samantha

•

heated city
the boy filled with demons
with a loaded gun

graduation is around the corner
upon future success
