f/k/a . . .

Just glance down at the immediately-preceding post, and you’ll

know that I have not been having a haiku-oriented day.  As soon

as I finish this post, and take a quick nap, I plan to luxuriate at 

The Heron’s Nest, enjoying its brand new Winter 2005 edition. 

 

As is her wont, Carolyn Hall has a fine pair of haiku in

the new edition:

 

 

 

icy mortuary steps —
linen or muslin
for her shroud?

 

 

 

 

fireplace glow
first signs of fraying
in the cane-back rocking chair

white jerseys

spread across the hockey field

Indian summer

winding road –

under the influence

of a strawberry moon

a Barry George bonus:

 

 

wee hours –
the leaves on the roof
shift again 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

barely dawn–
the cat’s slow progress
toward the kitchen
