Walking the Haiku Plank

By Cinara

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Haiku too hard Cinara takes the plunge Tries anyway Walking the Haiku Plank _____ Old rocking chair Squeaking on summer porch Cricket responds _____ On linen sheets, Moon, the only witness As life begins _____ Crystal snowflakes landing on a coat sleeve Stars from heaven _____ A sun-lit web quivering with dewdrops Architect hidesPlease critique Written March 1st, 2002 © on Mar 01 2002 10:54 AM PST   0 • 10
