Haiku by Mona Bedi


 

HAIKU


summer breeze

singing the song from

my childhood

 

dreidel

my daughter tells me

she is pregnant

 

new born girl

a pink chaffinch

on the windowsill

 

super moon

greeting it-

the cry of a cicada

 

singing songs

around a campfire-

flying sparks

 

mind fog

breaking my trance

call of a lapwing

 

rain puddle

I match my steps with

the dancing moon
