Back Again

Some Haikus this time...


an aging willow--
its image unsteady
in the flowing stream
--Robert Spiess (Red Moon Anthology, Red Moon Press, 1996)

downpour:
my "I-Thou"
T-shirt
--Raymond Roseliep (Rabbit in the Moon, Alembic Press, 1983


Just friends:
he watches my gauze dress
blowing on the line.
--Alexis Rotella (After an Affair, Merging Media, 1984)
one fly everywhere the heat
--Marlene Mountain (Cicada 2.1, 1978)


mourning dove
answers mourning dove--
coolness after the rain
--Wally Swist (The Silence Between Us, Brooks Books, 2005)
so suddenly winter
baby teeth at the bottom
of the button jar
--Carolyn Hall (Water Lines, Snapshot Press, 2006)
