Here are the five poems I submitted for the Haiku Society of America anthology. The theme is place, that is, each poem must refer to a specific place in the world:

first frost
scattering his ashes
at the Nile

(Nile Golf & Country Club, Mountlake Terrace, WA)

autumn twilight
a string of geese cuts
Mt. Hood in half

(Gresham, OR)

Seneca Creek—
catching a snowflake
on my tongue

(Seneca Creek State Park, MD)

smog
is a season word—
L.A. haiku

(Los Angeles, CA)

Sawtooth Mountains...
the alpine lake stocked
with clouds

(near Salmon, ID)
