honeysuckle--
even the word
sounds delicious


—Mike Farley

About the author: I live with my wife Shirlee on a cattle ranch near the little ski town of Red Lodge, Montana, and have been loving and writing haiku for several years now. I draw my inspiration from the images of the high-plains, mountains, weather, wildlife, livestock, ranch work and outdoor recreation which surround me daily.

    Language as object of perception. First rate, Mike.

    they tell each other
    treatable is good news—
    hot wind

    Delicious and senuous too. Beautiful haiku, Mike.


    honeysuckle-
    growing on her side
    of the fence, too

    this is so brilliant
    it glows
    with its own fragrance

    spring dress unbuttoned-
    suckling's tiny pale hands 'longside*
    tan line

    Lovely image!

    fragrance of honeysuckle
    starry June night
    dew between my toes

    reminds me
    of a honeysuckle vine
    I used to know

    thanks!
