an old argument

Once a wildlife biologist, Seren Fargo now incorporates her love of the natural world in her poetry. In 2009, she began writing haiku and established the Bellingham Haiku Group, which she currently co-coordinates. Her work has expanded to include other types of Japanese short-form poetry, such as tanka and collaborative pieces, as well as combining her poems and photography. Her work has won awards and been published in eleven countries.
a fawn at the heels
of a lame doe
sun mixes with rain
sunny day —
telling time by my cat’s
choice of window
(originally published in bottle rockets, Vol 11, no. 2)
my favorite color
doesn’t matter —
cherry blossoms
summer’s end—
I let the thimbleberry
rest on my tongue
long summer
the smell of rain
new again
it happens every year
but still
the woods filled with birdsong
