Best Poems – HAIKU & OTHER SHORT VERSES

Downstroke
A bird that
never was
was a leaf

Virginia Weather
Balmy wind forecasts
rain, summersaults and swinging
pocketbooks

Dream Mask

She dreamed
she enjoyed
waking up

Patty Martino Alspaugh

Untitled
Farewell! Like a bee
reluctant to leave the deeps
of a peony

Basho

Untitled
The moon is moving,
thru the clouds
Like a slow balloon

Untitled
Beautiful young girls running
up the library steps
With shorts on

Untitled
A turtle sailing along
on a log,
Head up

Untitled
Waiting for the leaves
to fall;—
There goes one!

Untitled
Seven birds in a tree,
looking
In every direction

Untitled
Barefoot by the sea,
stopping to scratch one ankle
With one toe

Untitled
Swinging on delicate hinges
the Autumn Leaf
Almost off the stem

Untitled
One drop from
the blue spruce—
two more drops

Jack Kerouac

In My Hosts Garden
‘Don’t break it!’ he said,
then broke off and gave me
a branch of his plum.

Taigi

In the Falling Snow

In the falling snow
A laughing boy holds out his palms
Until they are white

Richard Wright
