if it's only a white one
let it lie
no one gets hurt
                       ~Alan

hurtful words
water off a duck's back
dabble and dive
                      ~ Gael


Dive Cafe
a few fat pigeons
on the steps
                   ~Don

I write haiku because they're there ...

storm drain
the vertical axis
of winter

Hello,

Dive Cafe
a few fat pigeons
on the steps
                   ~Don


steps to heaven?
some say three
others twelve
                     ~col

twelve o'clock
and still awake . . .
bitter moon
                    ~cat

"bitter moon" is apparently the December full moon in China -- at least according to this:

Chen-ou, where are you?
