Louisa Howerow: Haiku

Category: 

 

placing a pebble
on his son's grave…
winter solstice

swimming laps
the pool full
of unspoken words

cherry trees
blossoming in the park
my silence

harvest moon
hanging over the fields
my prayers

renovations
trying to balance
the spirit level

roundabout…
opsimath looking up
opsimath

a bee bumbling
in the flower garden
your words a blur

fog rising out of the river the honk of geese
