Ten Haiku/Senryu/Scifaiku/Monoku Poems by Sheikha A

 






Ten Haiku/Senryu/Scifaiku/Monoku Poems



raven grief 
a tearing dusk 
this damp night

 


uprooted
resown in a cosmos
full of future




hummingbird
perched on artillery — 
outlier canvas




midwinter dream
goldfinch on blackthorn
glistening




lake mist a heron tucks in her wings

 


mohua—singing caution to the wind

  


one glitch in turn of solstice north wind-fire




abstraction
Orion in a moon-sleigh
shooting stars




waltzing to moon’s melody frost flowers




Orion’s sword
in the murmur of night
— half moon
