I was born in Chehalis, Wash. Have lived in British Columbia, Canada, since I was 16. After finishing a B.A. in English Literature at the University of B.C., I have written two books of Western free verse and published both articles and short stories in various literary journals. Recently-- I've concentrated my efforts on short verse. I've been published in several haiku journals including Temps Libre, Haiku Spirit, Moments, Short Stuff, Dew-on-Line, and the World Haiku Review, where I recieved an honourable mention for the 2002 R.H. Blyth Award. View all posts by Meryl Duprey
a beautiful simple haiku. Excellent as a 2-liner. Totally unadorned letting the reader complete the picture. A fresh, clean poem!
the simplicity of a child,and the wonder. in two lines—thank you.
resting in the pines
before beginning the ascent –
the sun
–
my feet
under sand –
the crab
–
know why
the wind howls –
think you know me
–
gentle
her hand –
tropical breeze
–
ashes
to ashes –
star dust
your haiku simple and beautiful
effective as a two liner.
waiting for old pal
stirring the moon
in the glass
I have had some of my haiku published but thats not what drives me, shadows, reflections and lizards do.
reading haiku-
a cloud of mist
settles on the page
warm, remembrance
summer, almost gone

black out
the stars above manhattan
