Haiku--By Barbara Tate--United States

family reunion
three grandchildren help
feed the cows
_______________

autumn
the internal clock
winds down
_______________

southern breeze
staking out bare trees
the robins
_______________

I talk to myself
hearing what is said
       sunday silence
_______________

Thoughts from Barbara--Haiku, Senryu, & Haibun are such a pleasure to write. I'd like to thank Francine Banwarth (ed: Frogpond), Paul Miller (ed: Modern Haiku), Bob Lucky (ed: Contemporary  Haibun Online, an'ya, Sonam Chhoki and Marianna Monaco of Cattails, Fay Aoyagi of The Heron’s Nest, and Mike Rehling for all the help and 'mini lessons'. I also want to thank Ayaz Daryl Nielsen of Bear Creek Haiku, and a special thanks to Karen O'Leary for my Whispers’ family and writing some good strong Tan Renga with me. I am truly blessed.

    I want to thank Karen for everything she does. Just when I am wondering if I'm getting too old, are my words no longer fitting together, along comes Karen and all of the Whispers family and gives me the inspiration I need. I am so grateful for Whispers.

    Barbara,
    All these are great but being an animal lover and a female cousin named Robin, that is my definite favorite.
    Your friend,
    David Fox
