Haiku and Senryu

by Mitch Berman, Shirley Wolf, and Mitch's students

By Mitch Berman:

Girl marries old man

Shuts eyes, throws in the fountain

Coin and coin and coin

Awkward together

Two kids in a horse suit

In a school play

By Shirley Wolf:

Dark curtains of night

Fall softly blotting out light

Challenged by the moon.

A peal of thunder

Lightning cracks the sullen sky

Introducing rain.

Close upon my heels

She will not leave me ever

Every move a mimic.

Rainbow arcs the sky

Shooting arrows of color

At rainwashed windows.

By Mitch's Students:
