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
