Akitsu Quarterly, haiku, Journals, Published Poems

the way back
from the woods
with a peace of mind

 

one bird
in the dark before dawn
starts

 

hawk
circling
the moon

 

 

– Fall 2014  premiere issue

 

 

another sunset…
all the places I left
myself

 

off the trail
on the trail
grasshopper

 

in between
the woodpecker’s tat tats…
silence

 

-Spring 2015

 

 

winged seeds
this desire
to take off

 

walking uphill
to keep the sunset
a bit longer

 

turtle dream
the winter over
so soon

 

 

Spring 2016

 

 

puckerbrush
how desirable I am
to a mosquito

 

holding up
itself
a stone wall

 

butterfly in the field
within its world
within this world

 

the old barn
what’s left
letting the wind through

 

Fall 2016

 

 

eyes closed
I could be
anywhere

 

promised land-
a grasshopper
leap after leap

 

Winter 2018

 

 

thaw
a snow bank holding out
in the burdocks

 

so over it      dust

 

falling leaves
on the path …
no place for my thoughts

 

Fall 2018
