Haiku--By Elizabeth Howard--United States

dark sky
for a fleeting moment
one faint star
_____________ 

evening in the meadow
sandhill cranes
dancing with the stars
_____________ 

morning walk
tinsels of mist rising
between the vibrant peaks
_____________ 

hailstorm ends 
a rumpled robin
hunkers on a post
_____________ 

nature drive
a wild turkey flies
across the windshield
_____________

Elizabeth Howard lives in Crossville, Tennessee. She writes poetry and fiction. Her poems have appeared in Comstock Review, Big Muddy, Appalachian Heritage, Cold Mountain Review, Poem, Still, Mobius, Now & Then, Slant, and other journals.
