is/let Haiku

Below are all of my haiku that have been published in the online journal is/let.


where myths cross
the path of satellites
divining water



little
to it
deadfly



middle-aged,
I settle for a lawn chair
and a long-range water gun


less than imagined fog



the night sounds
of sick children
swallowing the moon



in the space where his tooth was a fist



Sisyphus in a hospital gown

the stone

that will not pass



wearing black market analysis



not much more than he imagined autumn breathing



at the end of his travel advisories



measured in light years,

the night sky

again tomorrow



I drink all night

by the light of the moon

in my cup



the Chinook leaves puddles

he reflects on

yesterday’s snow

Modern Haiku

Here are the haiku I have published in the journal Modern Haiku over the last few years:


freed
of its cage
of ribs


candle smoke
the afterlife
of prayer


late innings
the mound
of sunflower seeds


bird seed
he scatters a handful
of change


after the bomb
a clock
with no hands


garden hose
I straighten the kink
in my back


an iceberg the size of Manhattan breaking dawn


an outburst
from the bleachers…
summer moon!


winter produce
the grocer imports
fruit flies


heavy snow…
I sink deeper
into my chair
