summer morning–
from out in the meadow
a pony nickers

 

 

 

 

 

school’s out–
we spend our dimes twelve ways
walking to the store

 

 

 

 

rumble of thunder-
slicing just-picked peaches
for the pie

Billie Wilson 

“summer morning” & school’s out” from the haibun “Mourning Dove,” in Simply Haiku II:3 (2004)

“rumble of thunder” – Mayfly 33, cover of Mayfly 34 (2002)

 

“quotemarksLS” Haibun are short pieces of prose in combination with one or more

haiku or related poetry forms. Billie Wilson’s “Mourning Dove” is a

gentle remembrance of childhood wonders.
