The front door
wide open
a shooting star
Author: vincent tripi
vincent tripi was a founder of The Haiku Poets of Northern California and the founder of The Haiku Circle (www.haikucircle.com), an annual gathering of haiku poets held each June in rural central Massachusetts. The author of 16 books of haiku, tripi began the journal Woodnotes which he co-edited. Having lived in three spiritual communities, much of his poetry reflects a Buddhist foundation. He passed away in August of 2020. His newest book of haiku, my turn now, is due out in early 2023 by Swamp Press.
Still faces it
the sunflower
withered by the sun
One fray in the kite’s string summer solitude
cricket songs
all of them
oldies
sometimes tame
sometimes wild
my old rocking horse
yard sale —
the old rug pulled out
just enough
into the spring mist
the mallard pair
and the mallards to come
small town where I grew up
a rusty penny on the tracks
cowbells . . .
the pasture view
never the same
small town
one red light
