arriving late-

the others’ footprints

snow-filled

twilight moon-

a hole in the chestnut

fills with stars

late harvest-

picking apples

from the tree’s shadow

hanami picnic-

more blossoms

than sky

behind tall cornfields

the autumn sun

how soon it sets!

grapefruit harvest-

the morning sun

left dangling

Honourable Mention Betty Drevniok Award 2012

a raindrop strikes

the bell’s reflection-

surface ripples

ocean floor-

a stingray lifts

the turtle’s shadow

Pink Lake-

a leaf falls into

the colour of dawn

hanging laundry-

my shadow

blows away

Holographic Anthology, Haiku Canada 2013

Oklahoma-

in the blown out tire

a piece of sky

still pond-

the touch

of a feather’s shadow

nobody home…

on the front porch

fallen maple keys

a branch quivers

in this summer heat-

distant birdsong

migrating geese-

from which cloud

this stray snowflake?
