From The New Haiku
The following six poems appeared in The New Haiku (Liverpool, United Kingdom: Snapshot Press, 2002). Edited by John Barlow and Martin Lucas, this extensive haiku anthology featured poems published in Great Britain and Ireland. All of these poems previously appeared in Snapshots, except for “in the burning house,” which appeared in Presence. Modern Haiku called this book “A significant addition to the haiku literature.”
after ballet class,
first raindrops
on the asphalt
empty café—
he hangs a spoon
on the waitress’s nose
pulsing
in the wiper’s blade
the bee’s abdomen
first snow . . .
the children’s hangers
clatter in the closet
haiku poet’s new car with a moonroof
in the burning house
the telephone
rings once
