Consider pigeons

by on Apr 30, 2018

Consider pigeons
with their silly feet
and stoplight eyes
their feathers’ rainbow shine
like oil on a puddle . . .

Then suddenly
one flies
wheels and dips on silver wings
fine as any falcon

So, my poetry

 


Kris Lindbeck has been writing poems on Twitter, mostly haiku and tanka, for about eight years. A few are published in Bright Stars, An Organic Tanka Anthology, Bones, Prune Juice, and Skylark Tanka. You can see more @krislindbeck on Twitter and Haiku etc.

Four Haiku

by on Dec 4, 2014

 

Threesome …
they lie in bed together
petting the cat

 

quarreling sparrows
the old woman says a gray dove
is their mother

 

Bright wind
a white cloud of ibis
touch the earth

 

Green trees
and silver clouds
no poems but this
