Haiku--By Marietta McGregor--Australia

a thousand hands
in the buddha hall
folded prayers
______________

stardust...
above the zenith
distant forms of life
______________

bedside vigil
I drop another stitch―
plovers cry

overcast morning
the waste basket overflows
with crumpled thoughts

cricket songs
walking the yard with me
scattered showers
