Haiku Kukai 6

Global Haiku • Millikin University • January 2020

cloudy mind
I have to
stand tall

Tristan Gammell

 

dancing lights
on swaying trees
happy new year

Brendan Menacher

blending in with
the foliage
two brown eyes

Trevor Greenwood

quiet humming
of computer monitors
falling asleep

Brendan Menacher

 

heard before
seen
the elevator door opens

Trevor Greenwood

a sea of jellies
line
the alcove

Trevor Greenwood

whispers of the wind
in the night
remind her she’s not alone

Lucy Koger

 

the abandoned cat
perches on a stone
a lion protecting its land

Lucy Koger

the old shelf filled
books
I’ve never read

Jasmine Clark

vacancy
dark eyes
open to no one

Diata Drayton

 

colorful crocs
filled with feet
taps against the wooden floor

Jasmine Clark

the man
rows his boat
no destination

Brendan Menacher

thunder clouds
rolling in
sunshine behind the rain

Diata Drayton

 

darkness hidden
by a lamp
corners filled by light

Jasmine Clark

addiction
filling her heart
with holes in her arms

Brendan Menacher

high five coffee
down low
too slow

Randy Brooks

 

hard at work
the student
dozes off

Trevor Greenwood

white walls
almost hiding
a quiet girl
