It's the Modern Haiku rejection issue! I sent ten of my favorite haiku (which have not appeared in this blog) in to Modern Haiku. Alas! they took none. The bright side is that now I can publish them here. I'm not that distraught. It's as the Go adage says: Lose your first fifty games as quickly as possible.
..........
pinecones
litter the ground
in the summer shade
.........
after summer break,
last year's posters
paper the bulletin boards
..........
idly scratching
the first mosquito bite
of summer
..........
sunrise...
mist
covers the azaleas
..........
this Spring morning,
the whole world's
a picture postcard!
..........
he trips on the door jamb.
the school gets another
coffee stain
..........
growing old,
the tree
splits the sidewalk
..........
cracked paint
on the stop sign
gathers dew
..........
old chopstick...
still the smell
of soy sauce
...........
in profound contemplation,
the cat sits
in the litterbox
...........
