Five Haiku was published in This Enduring Gift — A Flowering of Fairfield Poetry, 2010. These 5 haiku were selected from 13 Ways to Write Haiku: A Poet’s Dozen, where they were originally published in The Dryland Fish, An Anthology of Contemporary Iowa Poets, 2003. The University of Iowa’s “Iowa Writes” program heard of This Enduring Gift and asked the Fairfield Poets to submit our poems to them. They published Five Haiku on The Daily Palette, January 5, 2011.
Five Haiku
Defined
3 lines, 2 spaces,
17 feet to walk thru;
then, the unending
Translated
(Inspired by Australian artist Gareth Jones-Roberts’ painting
Egrets in Morning Light)
on the edge of space
two egrets in morning light
woken from a dream
The Fall
sudden drop of leaves
a negligée to the floor
trees stand stark naked
Winter Memo
On seeing snowflakes
written on a piece of bark
I copied this down
Forest Flowers
tiny white flowers
a constellation of stars
so low yet so high
