winter sunset
backlights the alders-
a small bird moves on

About the author: Billie Wilson, akwilsons at gci dot net

Billie Wilson has lived in Juneau, Alaska, since 1962. She had been writing "haiku-shaped" poetry for about 30 years before she learned about the haiku world that was very alive and well beyond her notebook of poems. Since making
that discovery, she has become an avid student of the ancient as well as the modern-day masters and has developed a particularly potent addiction to online
haiku lists.

    the small bird on the move-
    backlights the alders
    winter sunset


    i didn't want to tamper with your work, billie, however, in thinking of (the alder flycatcher), this small, delightful bird, sung out to me, my picturing it flying beneath and about the canvas of the same named tree.


    thanks

    campfire...
    the northern lights
    shift above the forest

    brilliant moonlight
    barren city streets ...
    distant bird's haunting carol
