first violin–
the play of stage lights
on frayed horsehair

Alan S. Bridges began writing haiku in 2008 after a chance meeting with poet John Stevenson, Managing Editor of The Heron's Nest, on a cross-America train trip. Alan especially likes train and fishing haiku, and is assembling haiku for a book. Alan's haiku have been published widely and he won the 2013 Irish Haiku Society International Haiku Competition. In 2014 he was named a judge of the Haiku Society of America Gerald Brady Senryu Contest and won an honorable mention for the 25th ITO EN Oi Ocha New Haiku Contest-- His haiku will appear on ITO EN bottles of green tea later in 2015. Also in 2015, Alan won first prize for the Kaji Aso Studio International Haiku Contest.

    __My thought: so many things are needed to coax a violin into music… the bow crosses the strings, and the strings cross the bridge, and fingers choose the notes… who cannot be enthralled_?

    fingers choose
    as rosin dust sings their song
    a bow's time
