The Art of Haiku


Selections from Ukku Spring Haiku 2006
the spring moon
was at my window
in the night
but it has gone
now too
the evening news —
regardless green spikes push up
out of dark earth
spring freshness —
a naked mannequin
in the ski-shop window
Alison Williams
clear cold blue —
all the things I've wanted
but couldn't have
promise of brightness
in a gift of daffodil buds —
snow on St David's Day

spring dusk —
the neighbour's vacuum cleaning
ends with a sigh
spring sun's warmth —
I catalogue a book
of death poems

I'm cataloguing the British Haiku Society Library
equinox
a Harley in the car-park, going nowhere
fast
officially spring —
the council daffodils
begin to bloom
talk of bouncing back
from adversity —
rain turns to hail
spits and spots of rain —
the postman brings a ticket
for a summer evening show
cold spring —
news of an ex's
engagement
