FIVE HAIKU

A journal of gratitude — Poetry by Miriam Sagan

FIVE HAIKU

By Miriam Sagan


gnarled apricot tree
in blossom—so many
climbing children
 
 
overcast morning 
nuthatches scavenge—I fear 
my own country
 
 
salmon spawning red
I’m almost embarrassed 
to watch
 

sequoia grove
we lower our voices
in conversation
 

tiny goathead thorn
I write in my 
gratitude journal

Miriam Sagan’s most recent book of haiku is Border Line from Cholla Needles. She created and curated two haiku paths in Santa Fe, New Mexico: one at the Community College and one at the Audubon Center.
