deep-snow

 

 

The above poem is from Burl, one of my favorite haiku collections of all time, written by Mark Harris and published by Red Moon Press.
As are these:

 

 

exits
sunlight
leaf
(or
wing)

 

 

to be
reworded
five instars in

 

Mark was kind enough to play a round of Questions and Answers with me. The results are still resonating and expanding for me, months later. Some have already appeared on A Lit Jellyfish. Here are a few more:

 

Is fear necessary?
          Lessons learned from despair

 

What is group hypnosis?
          It’s like crossing a field of dry goldenrod stalks

 

Why are the ice caps melting?
          A moth fluttering in a closed hand
