Hello, everyone. Another installment of my short haiku/senryu collections titled “A Few Haiku (17)” is now live at Gobblers by Masticadores. These small collections consist of six haiku and/or senryu. Many thanks to Editor Manuela Timofte for publishing this mini-collection. I hope you enjoy them.
“A Few Haiku (17)”
© 2021 by Michael L. Utley
(#97)
I have burned my hands
In the furnace of the past
Stoking memories
…..
(#98)
Stars write arias
For the bashful moon to sing
But who will listen
…..
(#99)
I have made my peace
Sitting under willow trees
In the green shadows
You can read the rest of this mini-collection here:
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.

Thanks a bunch, Beth. I’m sort of fond of the one with the stars, too. Memories of brilliant night skies on the farm as a kid. Seemed like every star in the universe was visible, and the moon was magical. Happy to know this one connected with you. 😊
