Here are a few haiku and senryu from last year’s

St. Patrick’s Day post:

 

St. Patrick’s Day

a traffic cop directs

gridlock

 

 

 

spring green

on the scaffold a workman

swinging his feet

the little sake shop
open for business…
spring mountain


 

 

 

 

into the grass
at the shrine, pouring…
new sake

St. Paddy’s parade –

at the curb

green and yellow snow

new kitten

the size

of her heartbeat
