migrants in single file ...
strawberry fields stretch
one after another
_______________
plump with juice
her freshly picked grapes...
the smell of sunshine
_______________
winter twilight
the one-legged veteran faces
with a resolving door
_______________
wailing siren ...
an old man on the beach
in winter mist
_______________
hand-me-down dream
twilight laughter drifting
from the orphanage

Nice work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic display of Haiku! I really enjoyed the last one, I thought the imagery that you portray with these poems are surely wondrous and lovely. You have written a tremendous set of pieces that when read brings a fire to your belly, great work.
