Haibun
A LANDMARK
For years the empty farm house and out buildings are left to fade into their surroundings. Unpicked corn provides food for birds. The stalks gradually dry up. collapse and blow away. Hay bales soak rain, become moldy, dry out, freeze, soak up more rain and slowly disappear into the soil. It is a familiar part of the scenery, this decaying farm with the crumbling buildings until one day there is nothing but bare acres.

Haiku
death of a friend
more leaves
turning brown
autumn leaves
the puppy switches directions
with the wind
storm clouds part
a spotlight shines
on autumn

Senryu
candlelight stories
with a sip of scotch
escape from the storm
teenage boys in the cafe
bring their own thunder
nervous new editor
sends herself
a reject
