a small sample
haiku & senryu
by Bill Deegan
second slice of pizza
I get my wrinkled dollar
back in change
road past the meadow firehouse chicken dinner
autumn warmth
we lie in it
a little longer
bare soles
on cold blacktop
jackal moon
morning breeze~
ironing out
the new shirt's crease
Father's Day~
blueberry pie softens
the conversation
beneath the curtain
a foot on its heel
election day
egg white
slipping through my fingers
winter sunrise
last night's snow
slips from a branch--
first of January
edge of coolness
seedlings emerge
from a tumble-down wall
lemon tea
the daughters remember
her hairstyles
Some of the poems above first appeared in the following publications: bottle rockets; Chrysanthemum; Frogpond; The Heron's Nest; Mayfly; Kingfisher; Modern Haiku.
