A Poem In Your Pocket


ending April
one more poui blossom
falling /gc


--previously published (in Magnapoets)
flower show
a child tells me
her favorite color /wk


sunset -
she draws a red thread
through her embroidery /jm


Spring time –
in my secret pocket
a dry lime leaf /md


No money
in my pocket book...
but so many haiku! /vm


Pick my pocket now
Finding mostly lint from wash
A poem pops right out /qc


bowl of soba
on the first day of Spring
picking my teeth /jc


tobacco crumbs
in a wrapped clipping--
beware the raindrops /rb


--又ここに若葉光に揺れてをり 
--mata koko ni / wakaba hikari ni/ yurete wori
here I come again
young leaves swinging
in sun beam /sn


power failure
an employee explains
a sit-down strike /rp


ending April
so many winter haiku
not yet written /jt
