midday sun--
a tree frog on the french door
turns translucent

—Mary Chapman

About the author: My name is Mary Chapman; I am married and the mother of three boys. I have always enjoyed reading poetry. My interest was sparked while in High School. We were challenged by an English teacher to write a love poem. It was not until recently that I became interested in haiku. I also write short stories and poetry. My favorite all time poet is Edgar Allen Poe.

    shattered windows
    broken in a dream--
    childhood home

    nighttime windowpane
    an anole curves with starred feet
    swallows mosquitos

    the river's tide
    a hungry dog
    catching the moon over the waves

    icing
    to the fence with nettles
    a dog is pissing

    midfall
    in full song--
    crickets, cicadas, and katydids

    Vines begin to climb
    as morning glory shoots up
    portulaca weaves

    Petals catch the light
    Whirls of blossoms wake the senses
    nature is rattled
