The telephone rings
Rain fell on the interstate
“Are you sitting down?”

HAIKU Poems by Caitlin Niznik
The light’s betrayal
The bright moon highlights
Creatures concealed fearful of
Brute discovery
Unexpected Encounter
What was it like for
Explorers to discover
Virgin land settled
HAIKU Poem: I’m God Damn Zesty, by Damian Greystoke
Born, a sweet sour mess,
A soul submerged, without zest.
Let the lime boy rest.
HAIKU Poems by Allie Talavera
1.
Star-crossed lovers meet,
Passion burns, a forbidden love,
Hearts forever joined.
2.
The void within, a chasm,
Echoes of loss, a haunting song,
Existence feels surreal.
3.
Star-crossed love has passed,
Fate’s cruel hand has torn us apart,
Farewell, dearest one.
4.
Eternal slumber shrouds,
A lifeless flower, once so bright,
Love’s tragic requiem.
5.
A secret heart yearns,
For one forbidden, a taboo,
A dangerous path.
HAIKU Poem by Vaishnavi Pusapati
Ah! The broken heart-
but then, a new acquaintance,
attempts Kintsugi.
HAIKU Poem by Cassie Margalit
Death comes first in love
Love for dreams that flit taunting
Above the sickbed.
HAIKU Poem: Berkeley, by H. M. Heffernan
How I see you there,
Boy of mine in sun and moon,
Star eyes, lips of dew.
HAIKU Poem: Flowers, by Daphne Lee
A field of flowers,
The vast array of color,
There is such beauty.
HAIKU Poem by Evamaria Lugo
Autum wants to buy
yellow dresses for the leaves
dancing in the night.
HAIKU Poem: SWIRL BABY, by Don Sergent
Coily hair, brown eyes
We call you our swirl baby
You fill us with hope
