haiku 60

poems are out there
waiting
to be collected

in my case written 
and numbered
in little blue books
59 haiku poems so far

the tired monk wanders
to the forest edge
past a little patch
of crocus flowers

haiku 60...

  1. I so love this poem. #60. I can see the Tired Monk at the forest's edge. Beautiful, Ollie.

  4. Ah, I hope that you will compile all of your haiku into a book. Publish it, even if only for you and your closest people. You will not regret it, and others will enjoy it as well.

  5. "a little patch
    of crocus flowers"....Where the heart dwells and poetry reveals itself. Beautiful.
