Haiku--By Nicholas Klacsanzky--Ukraine

I write a letter

to father . . .

evergreen bark

______________

work stress

across the street

the nun walks 

______________

coyote calls

return to the neighborhood--

Madrona bark 

______________

Mumbai smog--

he eats dal and rice

each meal
______________
