Since 2019 I have been on a journey to write one haiku every day. For the most part, I’ve kept to that practice. By now I’m up to over 1,800 poems. Not all of them are good. That’s not the point. Here is a sampling of some of the recent published haiku that come from this practice:
purple iris tongues
I wean myself
from the baby
Acorn No. 53, Fall 2024
rain patter
a sugar cube
in the doll’s tea
Prune Juice 43, August 2024
moonless night
moth eggs hatching
in my wool
Frogpond 47:2, Spring/Summer 2024
winter solstice
she names her new doll
Wisteria
The Heron’s Nest, March 2024
peony petals…
one by one returning
all his borrowed books
last night’s spat
coming up
toadstools
Kingfisher #10, October 2024
Lisa, your haiku are totally extraordinary! Thank you so much for sharing some of them on your website! (Mary turned me on to it). When will you have a Red Moon book?
