Most
of the haiku in this collection come directly from my life
experiences. I want to dedicate my collection to my son, Hayden.
I also would like to thank my mother and grandparents for
everything they do for me. Without them, I would not be able
to follow the path that I have chosen. Thanks!
on
the water
a twin—
rippling away
jaded
evening sky
SILENCE—
pierced by a freight train
on
the floor
broken glass
another argument
in
the fireplace
b u r n i n g…
wedding photos
rocking…
holding my son
silent love
circle
of light
in the sky
following me home
a
winding path
I’m not alone
through
a forest
dark and deep
leaves falling at my feet
Run,
Run, Run
through a cold stream
a short cut home
lights
ahead barely seen
almost home
footsteps
echo all around
shadows move
hot breath on my neck
Nila
Vinson & Robin Sidlo
In
the woods,
hushed sounds
quiet all around
sunlight
peeking through
lighting the trail
a
bird in a tree
calling…
a second one comes.
footsteps
from behind
we turn to look
from
around a bend
a park ranger—
checking the trail
