Red roses

no words for you -

the scent of red roses

from my hand




 

LEAF journal

 a signpost

lost in the mist

autumn’s last day


fresh bread -

from the old bakery

the smell of childhood



LEAF Issue One June 2023

 I want to congratulate you for being selected as a winner for the 2023 Haiku Ramble in the College/Adult category. You poem will be on display in the Gila River Fitness Path located in Sacaton Arizona next to the Gila River Fairgrounds on Bluebird Road. Poems will be displayed in planters that have been painted by some talented Gila River Artists. Planters/Poems will be on display at the conclusion of the fitness path construction estimated to be finished in July 2023. An announcement will be shared when display is live. Thank you for participating and great job.

Winning poem:

The morning jogging,

Through a flowering meadow,

Spring scent of her hair.
