A published author!

When writing the previous post, I recognized a haiku that I've had published. In this post, then, I've decided to include all of my haiku that have ever appeared in print (other than self-published).




In The second New Zealand Haiku Anthology (1998) ed. Cyril Childs I am one of the 35 featured authors. Page 48 is all mine!

A moth?
a leaf . . .
a Moth!

no footprint . . .
just earthworms, naked
over snow

between acts -
the World's Greatest Tumbler
hawks balloons

middle of the road -
midnight muzak
fills the mainstreet

I've pretty much copied the haiku as they were printed. Over the years I've cut down on the punctuation. I rarely use full stops or capitals anymore. I generally use a lesser number of syllables.
