spring fever
he offers me
a micro-dose
Author: j. zimmerman
J. Zimmerman is a poet, essayist, and critic. She was the first poet-in-residence for the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music. With Gregory Longenecker she authored the Frogpond article "A Disarmingly Simple Challenge: The Buson One Hundred" and is thrilled at how many poets have taken "The Buson One Hundred Challenge" to write ten haiku a day for one hundred days. Her article "Gender of Poets Winning Haiku and Senryu Contests" will appear in a 2019 issue of Presence.
yin and yang
snow paints
the coal yard
he tells me
he’s forced to retire
falling-leaf moon
global warming
the delicate oars
of this lifeboat
winter camping
the dark matter
that hums to us
mosquito
his little theater
of cruelty
burning leaves
a stranger at Auschwitz
asks me where I’m from
the wishbone
heart
of winter
