Global Haiku Traditions Spring 2010

shadowed moon
covers
her dead soul

no moonlight or sun
gloom takes over
my body

that familiar sparkle
in your eyes
faded

crowded basement
crouched in the corner
sick girl

 

 

 

 

 

top quarter champion

 

 

 

top half champion

 

bottom quarter champion

 

 

 

 

graveyard newcomers
one hundred years
from now

sun-baked gravestone
a drop of sake
evaporates

lifeless puppy
in the ground
she romped on

running in the park
I see the dog
racing me

 

 

 

top half champion

 


 

champion

 

bottom half champion

 

cars zoom by
as I wait
for my taxi

Did it hurt?
The accident that
messed up your face.

un-grantable wish
blowing dandelion seeds
against the wind

fading leaves
the ground freezes
in time

 

 

 

 

top quarter champion

 

 

 

bottom half champion

 

bottom quarter champion

 

 

 

 

rusty medal
of St. Michael
cop funeral

her husband’s funeral
crying quietly,
alone

tangled sheets
wakes up at noon
swollen lips

arrows
pierce my heart
not Cupid’s
