Haiku from Graham Nunn

Currently leading our Kasen Renku at Issa's Snail (see link to the right) is the talented Graham Nunn. Here are some of his own haiku:



dawn service
red scarf slashed
across the digger's throat


~


nudist beach
all eyes stare
out to sea


~


rooster's yellow beak opens the morning


~


makeshift bed
blood on the face
of the new born


~


at dusk
pink and blue clouds
of fairy floss

Unfortunately, Graham's haiku collection, a zen firecracker, is sold out, but his beautiful haibun collection is not, have a look below

Today kipple once again samples some of the great poets contributing to interactive renku site Issa's Snail (see link to the right)



wind and wattle -
a season without
a name

~

four dolphins ride
the lip of the surf -
laughter

~

a squabble of rosellas
unzips
the clouds

~

a welcome mat -
the tabby unfolds
on a handkerchief of sun


Anne Elvey



swamp gums
in blossom
honeyeaters luncheon

~

Uluru -
in the distance there sits
a hippopotamus

~

old wooden bridge
waves of sand
...drifting mist

~

Southern Cross Station
two silver trains glide in
a blackbird flies out
