Haiku ---------- Lenora Good

Like thin chocolate

the Rio Grande pours past me

            I thirst.

Dragonflies

tango above the water

            tiny scarlet flames.

Thor's hammer bounces

across the clouds—

            puppy shakes in fear.

Why is it easier

to accept my death

            than yours?

Three Haiku ----- James Roderick Burns

How dear

the small, lit window!

How distant!

*

Mossy cobbles

flatten and shine under

the wash of tyres

*

Stillness –

the night-bird’s cry flits

from wall to wall
