Haiku-By Robert Epstein--United States

63rd birthday
a lone Japanese maple leaf
Mom's next world greeting
____________

this morning
a silkworm at my door
seeking asylum
____________

lottery win?
we wave to each other
from our dream condos

  1. Robert,
    I love to read and write haiku. I have realized most modern haiku don't follow the "traditional" styles, so I have adapted some accordingly. Great job with yours.
    Yours truly,
