a shivering moon
in the kayak’s wake
wood ducks resettle
Author: Billie Wilson
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.
rest stop
after 90 miles of desert
the way green feels
winter sunrise–
only pale green moss
on the cottonwoods
winter sunset
backlights the alders-
a small bird moves on
