Three Senryu

the clam dig;
three cracked shells,
ten broken nails

heated discussion-
two young men pause
for girl watching

teenage couple-
the crisscross flutter
of hormones

Bennett College, Millbrook, NY

Halcyon Hall

the rotting college-
spring breezes rustle
old memories

fallen debris
where students once played
thorny weeds

broken windows-
through black holes
a devouring wind

HAIKU FOR APRIL

April sunset-
the orange cat
visits again

Modern Haiku, Autumn 2008

cherry blossoms
on the half-dead tree
the pull of sunshine

Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival,
Honorable Mention, April 2009
