Haiku Hits



shadows in the park
on a winter's afternoon
goose spots the ghosts




sari tangle
children play pranks
at a wedding



longevity
does not always guarantee
a happy marriage



dreaming of the suburbs
inner city cat
plans his escape



snapdragons
childhood memories
of nan's garden



time to return to
big skies wide open spaces
fresh air and quiet




a wind swept beach
full of sad sighs and low clouds
on a sunday afternoon
