china tinkling
music of silverware
fragrant leek soup

   

in the cowbarn
milk buckets steaming --
cats arrive

   

back alley
milk truck and local cats
dawn parade

   

sunny spot
old dog sleeping --
boneless!

   

in the coffin
her childhood photo
ragdoll embrace

   

in mismatched clothes
stopping anyone to talk
widower

   

three silent crows
old maple treetop
frigid dawn

   

from northwest
herringbone clouds advance
unstoppable

   


   

These seven haiku were posted on World Haiku Open Forum egroup by Denis Garrison (D.G. - 1, 3, 5 & 7) and Soji (2, 4 & 6 - Copyright © 2001 by Soji). See Soji's website, Haiku Poets Hut. See the haiga for "in the blue saucer".

   

in the blue saucer
orange slices and a pear . . .
Bach floats on the breeze

      ~ D.G.

   

salted peanuts
in a bowl on the bar ~
Hank on the jukebox

      ~ Soji

   

scattered on wet floor
peanut shells and damp ashes
one woman dances

      ~ D.G.

   

reflections
Wurlitzer lights swirl
in the empty pitcher

      ~ Soji

   

empty parking lot
traffic lights - red, green, unseen -
swing in rising wind

      ~ D.G.

   

tacking for home
the sailboat's lights
red, then green...

      ~ Soji

   

wave-tossed mast rocking
back and forth across the moon
tied up at the dock

      ~ D.G.
