only the weeds
listening
to my lament
Here I record my own efforts at haiku, senryu and other short form poetry. I also provide a resources page and other comment on haiku. You can find some of my published haiku on the Living Haiku Anthology (https://preview.tinyurl.com/y88hqva7) and the Haiku Foundation Haiku Registry (https://preview.tinyurl.com/y9p2ahnl) - Roger Watson

Liminality - Sequence with Erin Castaldi
eagle cry
jolts me out of
spring fog
****
from the undergrowth
the year begins
croaking
****
snowmelt
losing its grip
on the mountain
****
fading light
the last bee
hurries home

Çiçek tozları
Sürüp giden
Olası fırtına
the sun
leaving her smile
on a stone
