Early last week we promised more haiku from the latest 
edition of The Heron’s Nest (VIII: 3, Sept. 2006). That’s
a promise we’re happy to keep:
morning fog
the music
between headlines
bright morning —
walking the pain
from my heart
. . . Hilary Tann – see “morning fog” “bright morning —”
mating robins
the broken yellow
of the centerline
. . . . . . . Alice Frampton – THN (VIII:3)
wandering
from birdsong to birdsong
city morning
. . . Barry George – THN (VIII:3)
winter dawn
a tub of washing
all run blue
. . . Matt Morden – THN (VIII:3)
cold moon —
a stray dog roams
the village street
. . . Billie Wilson – THN (VIII:3)
almost spring
she tells the whole story
in a single breath
. . . John Stevenson THN, (VIII:3, Editors’ Choice)
evening warmth —
latchkey kids play rummy
in the doorway
. . . Rebecca Lilly – THN (VIII:3)

I make plans
for my ashes
