CLASSICAL HAIKU MASTERS

Snow has melted

how happy they look –

the faces of stars

Issa

Autumn begins –

ocean and fields

all one green

Basho

Winter sun –

frozen on horseback

is my shadow

Buson

MODERN HAIKU

The Golden Gate

creaks

With sunset rust – Jack Kerouac

From across the lake,

Past the black winter trees,

Faint sounds of a flute. – Richard Wright

time out

the setting sun

takes center field – Peggy Lyles
