a dream of owls: haiku of Laurie D. Morrissey

$20.00

“Laurie D. Morrissey is the most natural of haiku poets — not only in her fine attunement to the ways of nature but also in her perfectly natural diction and the good-natured feel that suffuses her work. Whether hearing the birds, reading the leaves or truly seeing the light, one could ask for no more insightful or companionable guide.”
— Scott Mason, author of The Wonder Code

Description

“From pegging up laundry to being ‘ferndeep in love’, Laurie D. Morrissey’s a dream of owls not only has us, too, rephrasing the question, but also falling under the influence of stars, spring ephemerals, and orchards at dusk. A delightful collection to have and to hold.”
— Robin White, editor, Akitsu Quarterly

short dreams in a long night
the birds begin
without her


not holding on
too tightly —
cherry blossoms


berry-picking . . .
leaving some for the birds
that left some for me


the sound
of falling dreams —
autumn rain
