Haiku to Edit 2

Global Haiku • Millikin University • Fall 2013


Leaves crunch
under my bike tires
I like it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


the old woman straightens
her husband's tie
unspoken love



hugging
as though everything
is okay

 


I want to be there
but the smoke
suffocates me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


absentmindedly,
tracing hearts
on your hand

 


summer dusk
a distant scream
the old train tracks


 


fresh fall breeze
the soles of my feet
enjoy the challenge

 

 

 

 

 

 


science
my tears run free
museum fetus

 


the walls
speak to me
my grandma's old home
