crickets
following the first
a multitude

before the last

crickets

haiku no. 111

wondering
how do they tell
at night

The experience this is taken from is that of standing up from sitting on the bank of a lake, and seeing all the little fish that feed there scatter because of the shadow and the movement.

haiku no. 110

listening
here again there is
recognition

In listening to "My Sweet Lord", a song by George Harrison.

haiku no. 109

not yet
waiting for night
and a family gathering

though the lines of this poem do not fall into the accepted format (short-long-short), it does I feel express the anticipation and energy experienced in this moment, in waiting. So I add it here.

haiku no. 108

a new tradition
passing the old house there
we slow

haiku no. 107

looking
there a twilit orchard
is barred

or

turning
now at my back there is
a fading orchard

halted
now as I turn there is
an orchard

note on the third: this one was made in the process of composing the second. It is included here because of the sound and the feel of it, though the words are misleading.
