sky hollowed out
chunks of yellow, pale blue
overlay of planetary disturbances
little green men do battle
with other, littler green men

Two of my haiku appear in the May 2025 print issue of Scifaikuest which specializes in scifaiku and other minimalist poetry forms forms, notably senryu, haibun, and tanka, as well as cinquains, fibonacci, etc.
I hope you enjoy them. As always, THANKS for looking!!


linden leaf droppings
clutter the herb garden,
I clean the beds as best I can.
I’d had such plans for the mojito mint
though it does smell divine.
the oregano, basil, rosemary,
thyme, sage, & parsley—
I’m pleased with all of it.
oh, but those chives!
papa cardinal, his regal redness
dotes on young ones
pointing out safflower seeds
scattered on the ground

anything & everything
these two eager eyes
can read
Authenticity and reciprocity
a trellised garden beckons,
its lush sanctuary
overflowing with birdsong
overcast morning
pale light filters through the leaves,
grants us quiet passage
