Karl Miller, US
 

 

 

 

Tanka

 

your picture shocked me:
memory froze you a kid,
not worn & tired
but fun, vivacious – really
cancered to an early stop?

 

 

the odd reminder
pulls you down old, lost hallways:
staring in silent rooms
at cobwebbed, mottled mirrors

see yourself, caught there
 

 

Haiku

 

hurricane has passed
a broken stop sign swings loosely
by ruined trees

 

 

the wind stirs shadows
a new day launches with rain
waiting to be seen

 

 

strengthening sunlight
bare wintered tree ice sparkles,
coaxing the hard pond

 

 

on the cusp, shining,
perfect, undeflated you

I can’t keep looking
