An online haiku journal I love is brass bell: a haiku journal. It is curated by Zee Zehava, herself an excellent haiku poet and teacher. This journal sends out a “theme” for the month’s submissions, and the results are always a delight to read. Recently I had several haiku appear under two different themes.
brass bell: a haiku journal, May 2017
Theme: Colorful Haiku
children now gone
no red wagon
to break the fog
flashes of azure wings
two bluebirds wake
the grey morning
brass bell: a haiku journal, April 2017
Theme: Edible Haiku
tasting a word
as I say it aloud —
gnocchi
the soft velvet
of apricots
against our lips
pierogi day —
pinching loose ends
of dough & memories
