Beautiful Haiku by Alice Kight

1. Midnight

Cricket serenade
My neighbor's cat comes prowling
Deafening silence

2. Mosquito

Tiny, zinging dot
Round my drowsy, nodding head
Ouch! Swat! Now you're not!

3. Writer's Lament

Beneath the clutter
Full of Possibilities
My missing pencil

4. Beach Haiku

Embers fly upward
Last beach bonfire of summer
Memories remain

Thank you to Alice Kight, a noted San Francisco Bay Area poet, for these submissions.

Haiku by Allison C.
A big, steep mountain--
It feels so free in the wind
to hike up above

Haiku by Alex C.
color of the sea
flies like the beauty
flies like an eagle

Haiku by Miko B.
The beautifulness makes me happy
and the walking was so pretty,
it popped into my head

Haiku by Srusti A.
Salsa dancing cat
in a red dress with red eyes
with crazy cat hair

Haiku by Laura S.
my bed
floats over the floor
dreams are being made

Haiku by Nikita V.
jumping cat
pop click pop click
soapy soapy cat
