Five Poems by Deborah A. Bennett




 

Haiku Poems


cold moon  -

leaving the last persimmon

for the cuckoo 

 

 

one whose life 

is no less frail -

dew on the wild mushrooms

Writing haiku for fifty years, Deborah A. Bennett's poems have most recently appeared in Frogpond Journal, Modern Haiku and First Frost Poetry.
