Hi, friends. The latest installment of my short haiku/senryu collections titled “A Few Haiku (18)” is now available at Gobblers by Masticadores. These small collections consist of six haiku and/or senryu. As always, much gratitude to editor Manuela Timofte for sharing this mini-collection. Here’s hoping you find these little ones enjoyable.
“A Few Haiku (18)”
© 2021 by Michael L. Utley
(#103)
Bones of the earth split
Emaciated world’s skin
Granite ribs protrude
…..
(#104)
Holes in waraji
Worn through soles through countless years
My soul worse for wear
…..
(#105)
Deafened ears can hear
Whispered symphonies of earth
Deafened hearts ignore
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.

I love your Haiku, Mike. My favourite is ‘deafened souls can hear, Whispered symphonies of earth, Deafened hearts ignore’ – that is a huge theme for life. How very poignantly layered!
