thoughts of him still—
a flush of red
on the cactus bud

@sagestone_

 

The unexpected
has a sweetness, nonpareiled,
love found late in life
twenty dollars in a winter coat
you, making french toast

@BlueHaiku2

 

foggy night
sometimes it’s better
that way

@heyjude714

 

sunday morning–
the ceiling rose flowers
opening to soft shafts of light

@robbiepoet

 

in the darkness
the wind blows a star
across the sky

@moonflowernco

 

holding the universe
in place
an acorn hidden
by a squirrel

@NJBarico

 

one long beautiful
string of notes–
the blackbird loves me

@robbiepoet

 

beneath a strange tenderness
a rabbit stilled …
lynx in blue snow

along the river
ghosts of forget me nots

@TeresaEvangelin

 

visiting robin
how easy it is
to gladden my heart…
in the baker’s doorway
a fat dog’s tapping tail

@RobinsPerch

 

between the rowan & the smoketree
we hid our wishes
we drank coffee on the moon
& we danced

@gsuttonbreiding

 

frog song
a heron’s shadow takes
the last note

@bigmax722

 

what he left behind
she knitted into a sweater
warm with wrongdoing
and then she unraveled it
one strand a night

@tantamount2

 

silently in a snapshot

you are saying something
and look wonderful saying it

the fall leaves are gray
and your smile
is forever

@larry_kimmel

 

she had a scar like
a pink centipede where her
breasts once held the moon

@beezknez

 

night flaps
against the window
a car faroff
then a dog
then quiet

@whichofawind

 

each daisy
flowering in the meadow
worth five haiku
what price then
your soul

@amoz1939

 

stand among the fallen leaves
wait for the winds
to kick up
and make you a tree again

@rasmithii

 

a bark across the hill
oh your midnight hunger
fox of my heart

@plantingtheoar

 

wild violets
something so beyond
blue

@Novemberrill

 

No one in the park
to admire
the way
the wind sweeps
the leaves away and away

@MarkScabash6

 

in the park
the quietness of falling leaves
when was i young

@nightslostsoul

 

as if it was afraid we forgot it
autumn wind

@jshb32

 

the children gone
horse chestnuts rotting
in the backyard

@IkaKarl

 

instead
of the world
a dragonfly

@moonflowernco

 

october
she’s all silver light
cashmere soft
and rain
that tastes
like honey

@lamerfleurie

 

sister’s crayons,
if only
the yellow were big enough
to turn the whole world
into sunshine

@joy_pops

 

is love every day?
asked the little boy
yes, his mother said
tomorrow too?
yes
after that?
yes
OK

@timgbarry

 

uncoiling ..
her scales glistening,
the summer-river
s l o w l y ..
swallows s k y

@NiluferYM

 

bright sunshine —
the junkie
mocks the drunk

@pauldavidmena

 

Someday
I want to scrape
all the poems off the rose
and give to you
the naked flower

@KrisLindbeck

 

in the mimosa
it’s always the songbirds
who gossip
about the grackles
and their blue-black feathers
