Five Haiku
By Joshua Sabatini
6.
Tern hovers above
Joyous silver fish flashes
Breakfast tastes so good
10.
Monarch wings in wind
Observer takes note from beach
Soul takes flight to it
39.
Kayak moves along
To the rhythm of the strokes
Outgoing tide helps
40.
The crickets’ day tune
Is nothing like their night song:
Cosmic harmonies
49.
The herring creek flows
Between the pond and the bay
I twice connect too
