HAIKU

sea breeze:
my shadow hovers
on the ocean floor

easy silence
taking the bunch of keys
warm from your hand

spring morning
painted on the footpath:
proposed tree

empty house:
three seedpods ripen
on the windowsill

Jane Gibian



on the coffin lid
our faces
in the clouds

art gallery cafe
before eating  she
photographs her food

Jeffrey Harpeng



September orchids
blatant sex in the perfumed
conservatory

Jill Cartwright



visiting mother
all the teaspoons of
my childhood

John West



heat wave
the dog bites at shining
hose water

dog days
the old fence leans towards
its shadow

a big wind
erases the clouds
the stars

          city sunrise
the towers fade to breath
on the windowpane

Sue Stanford



deep in the forest
the lyrebird's call
mimics the chainsaw

Michael de Valle



long afternoon
the kitten chases
a bird's shadow

Sue Mill



winter dawn on the ragged
hedge snow

thin wind on the washing line
sparrows

grape harvesting
smiling through leaves
the new picker

quiet night
rustling of leaves
as the moon wanes
