Six Tercets, One Monostich, Two Duostich By Alan Summers

Alan Summers: Chippenham, England UK, 6’3” dextromanual, carmina scribere cupiens, founder Pan Haiku Review, founder Call of the Page.


Haiku Poet Alan Summers


Six tercets, one monostich, two duostich:

green moon
rising wide-eyed
the early dog roses

drifting woodsmoke
the double-decker bus
bright as a movie

when and where
are the shared colours
poor-land daisies

wearing shorts
a smile on each knee
to the supermarket

autumn deepens
with a fleeting [blank space]
a day worn out

god rays for a cat
the rain clouds shift
mending things

so much for
the red sled
all snowbound
all forgotten
in light

after William Carlos Williams


worrdied = worredied = worridied = words died mama

after The Guild of Emotional Artisans


we never take them alive
each dream as snow

golden hour sketching
the charcoal late-emerging bumblebees
