The Art of Haiku
| Selections from Ukku Spring Haiku 2006 | |
|---|---|
|
signs of spring — fresh graffiti on a downtown train signs of spring — the homeless man's brand new sneakers signs of spring — a bikini-clad mannequin |
signs of spring — if only I could see just one sign of spring |
|
March sunshine — the girl at the coffee shop calls me "hon" |
filing my taxes — dandelion seeds in the air |
|
first day of Spring — cigarette butts emerge from the snow pile |
spring snow — finches build a nest in a dried-out wreath |
|
spring snow — the poet hunkers down at the end of the bar |
finally spring — the scent of her hair |
