Hello, everyone. The seventh installment of my short haiku/senryu collections titled “A Few Haiku (7)” is now live at Gobblers by Masticadores. These small collections consist of six haiku and/or senryu. Kindest thanks to Editor Manuela Timofte for sharing this mini-collection. I hope these resonate with you.
“A Few Haiku (7)”
(c) 2021 by Michael L. Utley
(#37)
Swathed in winter’s arms
Chilly bosom hushes earth
Snowy lullaby
…..
(#38)
As heron’s plume drifts
Away on a silent stream
Memories of you fade
…..
(#39)
Do worms of the earth
Dream of sunlight; are their minds
As blind as their eyes
You can read the rest of this mini-collection by clicking this link. Also, don’t forget to follow and subscribe to Gobblers by Masticadores, where you’ll find some wonderful writing and plenty of food for thought.

Same to you, Mike. Our Thanksgiving is always quiet, but we did get a puppy a few days ago. Lots of barking at deer. Oh my. So maybe not so quiet this year. 🙂

Lol. I’ll post a photo tomorrow with my book reviews. He’s so cute and well-behaved. A mutt from the Humane Society. We figured we aren’t going anywhere with the rapist in charge of the country, and my dad’s needs are keeping us close too. So a puppy seemed like a good plan. ❤

I agree with you on all counts. Can’t wait to see the photo! I’d love to have a dog or a cat for companionship but my apartment complex won’t allow it. I hope you enjoy your new friend. 😊🐕

That’s too bad you can’t even have a cat, Mike. They’re sweet companions. My little “paper shredder” is keeping us busy. 🙂

Beautifully written, Mike,
The soft lullaby of snow
the Heron drifting
the worm can see underground just as someone blind can see.
I enjoyed them all very much.
