my neighbor lines the lower perimeter

of his wrought iron fence—

its western side aligns with our own backyard’s—

with twelve inches of chicken wire,

four hundred yards of the stuff

in order to allow his sister’s two puppies,

tiny Yorkshire terriers, to freely roam

and not slip through the vertical spires

when she comes to visit.

what we do for those we love,

what we do for our canine companions…

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!!
