Haiku - J.D. Heskin

[Other haiku & tanka] [Other titles in English] [All other titles]


  haiku



snowfall
delivered last night
airmail


the old weathervane--
so worn and rusty it is
anybody's' guess


a slow day--
watching my shadow
watching me                                 


two below zero--
next time I ride the train
I buy a ticket


the fire engine
that passed me up 
turns into my house 


the weather forecast:
heavy rain followed by
mosquitoes


so hot
it is all I can do-- 
this haiku


little by little
wind wears away the mountain
season by season 


my poplar planted,
I walk away wondering
who will die first


the winning haiku:
written on a summer day
about a snowstorm


in balanced colors
nature dresses for the day
seasonally chic 


flea market find:
the scribbling of a child
or a Picasso


the fish market~
here and there
I catch a word


embraced,
she is as elusive
as at a distance


first loves:
the husbands and wives 
of husbands and wives 


it's not always dew
one might see on the rose...
what a relief
