I can hear the moonlight
creaking in the garden

chasing the sunset
roadside dandelions
almost closed

mental hospital
a woman with a smile
of the Cheshire Cat

***

in exile
a jellyfish thrown
on the shore

rising moon
puddles form the Milky Way
on the country road

Indian summer
I pick out the colours
from a spice stall

Living Haiku Anthology

Editor's Spotlight - Greg Longenecker

"Maria Tomczak lives in Poland, and her haiku, “Indian summer / I pick out the colours / from a spice stall”, perfectly bring together the thoughts, and senses of autumn. The colors of shrubs and trees have turned and the spice stall colors reflect the change. I picture myself standing in front of row after row of spices and wondering what to cook with them. It’s the perfect season for a soup or stew using spices which, coincidently, match the season in color and smell."
