Haiku for a chapbook
Our local haiku group is putting together a chapbook with a focus on the seasons and New Years.
I'm submitting a few, two of which had been published before:
heat wave Mass -
moved by the spirit
and the fans
crisp autumn day –
red-tailed hawk scrutinizes
filled bird feeder
moonlit room –
the dog’s toys next to the box
that hold her ashes
Ash Wednesday
the check-out girl
wipes her forehead
April morning-
cardinals in conclave
at the bird feeder
- (bottle rockets, Volume 7, #2 2006)
leaving the vet’s
without my daughter’s cat –
chilly wind
- (bottle rockets, Volume 7 #2 2006)
New Year’s Day –
first resolution broken
before sunrise
I wonder if any of them will be accepted?
In searching for poems to submit, I realized how few haiku I'd written lately, and how few of my haiku are seasonal in nature. I tend toward senryu - "haiku" that make observations about human nature.
