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)
