Poet Tim Chamberlain


turning a corner -

less fond
of my own
poems

each lettuce -
feels like
an age

we wake
within
a nutshell

petals
breathing
butterflies

Clair de lune -
watching your
eye-shine

each poem
hidden
under a rock

the road I'll travel
still warm within
the macadamizer

mackerel
mistaking
sky for sea

cold calls -
across the lake
no answers

banana
tape
wall

poem?

Haiku

Muffled minds wonder
sudoric bodies shudder
caressing slumber.

A velvety dusk
hangs low; muffled oranges
the tide grows nearer.

Vividness
colour cascade
beautiful mind pervades.

Heart
tightly bound
silenced no sound.

Haiku Chain Write

Your
deep love
held the key

You
unlocked me
my heart breathed

Together
our souls
hand in hand.

Monoku

I am your darkest gift filled with sin and utter bliss

wildflowers in pink she cherishes the cool wind

pearl tinted moon moulded like the bowl of a spoon splashed milk drops at dusk

Tiptoeing through silk petals blossom scented feet

Haynaku

Crestfallen
Soul battered
Upon its knees.

summer rain
puddles fill with feet
laughter spills
tsuki kōru
the old ache flowing
through my stiff joints
new moon -
the phone ringing
on silent mode
clouds drift…
Owl, the emissary
from moon
summer solstice -
the robin’s small song
on loop
morning frost -
a cloud breaks free
from my yawn
cataract surgery
mom poems
cobwebs in new corners
last road trip together
the seatbelt
chafes at my neck
at the peak of my fall
smell of grass
infinity of thoughts stirring in my teacup

dusk's chorus 
a supernova 
of red admirals 


dead lotus 
wearing acne scars
on the first date 


winter light
the slap
of a kelpie's tail


a stagnant pond's
poetry in motion 
darting dragonflies 


the starry hump 
on Milky Way's spine 
--- wisteria 


ridged swirls
a knoll of antlers 
dip into star-well 


turning within rubble fresh loam of drone-stars 


lungs' flutesong last few hisses in her inhaler


dawn's quiet nook chirp of a turning page  


shadow blossoms on a moonbow fallen cherry

thunderclap...
one more
accent mark

firewood —
with each cut
a new sunray

roasted chestnut
after one nibble
a child again

harvest moon —
sumi-e
of the forest

wet walkway
a street lamp
makes its sunrise

flower garden —
leafy wave
one breeze long

October drizzle —
a dotted view
of the sky

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

the gentle taper
of a mountain—
dad's uniform

learning of her death—
a passerby
tells me to smile

the owl's golden gaze
measures my body—
kerning

dusk wefting—
the water strider's
suminagashi

wolf on the ridge
a grey cowboy's
last nod

midnight drone—
the farmer buries
another UFO

mammatus clouds . . .
dabbing
the cotton fields

flipped porch swing—
the green sky
freshly cut

ancestry
his vest and her scarf
in the quilt

open palms
the cherry petals
choosing me
