at Lunch Break
we share a five star

morning chill
awakened by the tremors
of a shivering earth

Welcome to the fifth anniversary celebration of Lunch Break: a haiku/haiga dialogue...Started 18th January 2006; to revisit the 4th Anniversary Celebration click here...

"the poet of the haiku vanishes as to direct our attention toward what is beyond the ego...."
essay by Carlos Fleitas
'Haiku: lightning on a clear sky'




winter clouds -
leafless magnolias
trembling in the wind

ice needles -
a warmed up fly
pops in the window
--Cristina-Monica Moldoveanu



snow falling
across the parking lot
headlights flip on
--William KENNEY



lunch break -
I read
"Lunch Break"
--Andrzej Dembonczyk

a new kite in his hands --
warm seabreeze
