Stephen Addiss's Haiku
http://www.poetrylives.com/SimplyHaiku/SHv2n4/features/Stephen_Addiss.html

bent to the ground
up against the window
the bamboo glistens

after the concert
sweet and bitter -
winter rain

birthday snow
stepping into holes
left by the postman

coral needles
stitching
the honeysuckle trail

old turtle
waving his head -
September rain

scraps of paper
shiver in the thorns -
dawn railroad

shifting shadows -
redbuds shiver
over the wispering stream

the ballet
of her arms
against the pillow

water's edge -
a thousand heron legs
in the bubbles

but
through the mist
apricot blossom
