haiku--By Patricia Nolan--United States

my best friend
unravels my old
slippers

************************
gleaners
empty my life - mind
yard sale

************************
August
in the deer blind
shooting film

************************
cottonwood leaves
shifting in the wind
fractals

************************
birds hear
birds answer
prayers on wings

************************

    Patricia: Love your haiku. My favorite is the cottonwood/fractals. I like the imagery and can picture the wind rustling the leaves slightly changing the pattern. Joann
