winter sunset
backlights the alders-
a small bird moves on

Billie Wilson discovered haiku in the late 1960s, and writing haiku-shaped poetry became a very enjoyable, but solitary, activity for the next 20 years. Thereafter, through discovery of the worldwide haiku community — and learning that haiku had evolved considerably since her introduction to it — haiku has become a central part of Billie's life.

  1. 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

  2. brilliant moonlight
    barren city streets …
    distant bird’s haunting carol
