The 2nd English Haiku Gathering

over rice field

cluster of red dragon flies

against blue sky

-Tomoko Ueda

while I lay in bed

the faintly singing insects

serenade the train

-Julia Mace

faces in the water

the people gaze solemnly

the moon reflects back

-Richard Kinsella

mother and daughter

play a piano duet

long nights of autumn

-Fumiko Hara-sensei

the moon glides silver

over speckles of starlight

headlights don't notice

-Nick Josten

autumn mist clearing

gaze into the open sky

river of silver

-Jeremy Lanig

  blinding autumn sky

through white haze, a silhouette

rising, wings apart

-Erin Dorso

small bird of autumn

picking at his mottled plume

proud in his fatigue

-Reese Mankenberg

deep blue sky

looks like absorbing everything

even my cares

-Tomoko Ueda

inquisitive birds

autumn's red leaves are hidden

in the trees of green

-Julia Mace

in the morning: crows

but the nights are so peaceful-

sound of bell crickets

-Danny Blackwell

faintly seen light of

a remote mountain cottage

singing of crickets
