Haiku by Cherie Jameison

 All rights of the texts presented here remain with the author.

winter...calls restored...

phone "chirped" to signal service--

loved ones' dear voices

their beasts...parading...

hand silhouetted on walls--

through age-old long nights

migrating people....

flying off to warmer climes--

their planes' serene hum

quilted lap blanket--

its forest pattern warms up

the cold forest air

must block predators--

they boomerang their victims,

they hide in long nights

strong infrastructure

builds a strong economy--

young beaver adds sticks

Route 66 ends

at Santa Monica pier--

sound of winter sea

Yosemite lunch--

scraps remain...Steller's jays watch

diners leave dishes

piggy bank emptied--

coins clink into bucket of

Christmas bell ringer

shopping for good meal

from trash collection spillage--

seagulls at the mall

politics market--

dealers hawking nuggets....which

are real, or fool's gold

 

 

Cherie Jameison has been a published poet since her teenage years. Her haiku teacher was Lorraine Ellis Harr (Tombo). She writes to bring people together and to help the planet.

Honoured to be featured in the February issue of the African journal “The Mamba”! The first short poem refers to professor and poet Adjei Agyei-Baah and his brilliant haiku collection "Piece of My Fart".    haikua ssp
