golden hour
a gray whale swallows
the sun
Author: Dyana Basist
Dyana Basist lives in Santa Cruz CA on Rodeo Gulch, a riparian corridor that inspires many of her lyric poems, haibun and haiku. Her haiku have been published in numerous journals and books. The theme of Dyana's new book, Coyote Wind, is her rollicking long-term love affair with Coyote, both the Mythic and the not-so mythic. It is available through elikpress.com or the author at openmesa@sbcglobal.net.
long day
the toddler’s nap
the length of an eyelash
following a cricket
into the cairn
eventide
mead moon
tracing his highland clan
to a field of rubble
snowdrops
i tell him the river
speaks river
sprinting from the waves spring laughter
(This is a tan renga, a form of linked verse, by Jonathan Roman
seed hairs
the whisper of a tree
at dusk
less and less to say gossamer
(tan-renga composed by Jonathan Roman and Dyana Basist)
cataract surgery
all the shades of blue
in a soap bubble
what we take
and what we leave behind
honey harvest
