Haiku by Mark Miller
nightfall––
fruit bats sail through
the Milky Way
Shamrock #47, 2022
filtered sunlight deep in the forest the lyrebird sings

leading me farther
from the forest trail…
song of the hermit thrush

flashing silver
the plunging waves
of feeding terns
The Heron’s Nest, June 2022

fallen figs
the small price we pay
for rosellas at dawn

forest trail
gloss of a wild blackberry
in the magpie’s beak
Wales Haiku, Summer 2022
empty loggers’ hut
along the old growth road
wide open sky

silent grief––
the way the river
carries the fog

dark night––
all the weight of the unseen plastic
in the fisher’s net
tsuri-dōrō, Sept/Oct 2022

wind in the vines the dry rattle of leftover gourds
