Haiku and Senryu

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.
CMU,
lots of cows
Where's
the mountain?

Grass
over stone
cool

The

Alone
without neighbors
Yet
still shining bright
