Haiku by Nika

Animal Encounters

The haiku selected for this collection have been written by Nika and previously published in the following magazines: Albatross, Freefall, Frogpond, Haiku Canada, Haiku Quarterly, Hummingbird, Point Judith Light, Potpourri, and The Wheel of Dharma. I extend my thanks to the editors of these publications for their support and dedication to haiku poetry and poets.

scolding us
who sleep past dawn -
the crows

begone
little mouse; the maid
is at the door

buddhist monk
hesitates . . . then steps
on the wasp

OUCH!
bites worse than blackflies
this winter wind

a strange green bug
slowly crosses the path
I hesitate . . .

this winter day
without mosquitoes or flies
a little lonely

mind your manners
little sparrows
I've just washed these quilts

mosquito friends
without you I could not
enjoy these swallows

snail my friend
all this way to my door
just as I am leaving

oh worms!
enjoy this withered flesh
after I am gone

May the FORCE be with you!
