Irene Golas – Samples

The following are samples of haiku from Sudbury Writers’ Guild member Irene Golas.

Seven Haiku

clouds touching clouds

a lamb nuzzles

its mother
 
 
parsley

so green I hear it

spring rain
 
 
lilac on the breeze

missing the bounce

of my ponytail
 
 
thinning the carrots…

still thinking about the child

miscarried

 

 

first tomato

mother picks for me

the sun’s warmth

 

 

left breast gone

the one my infant son

preferred
 
 
about the war…

mother simply stares

into her soup
