April 21 was Poem in Your Pocket Day, so the poems in today’s post are written in response to another poem. I chose three of my favorite haikus from the anthology Haiku in English Ed. by Jim Kacian, Philip Rowland, and Allan Burns.

coffee
in a paper cup —
a long way from home

red eye flight
last at the gate
my coffee is cold

autumn colours
we let mother lie
about our childhood
My Response:
summer wind
we get into mischief
and point fingers

By George Dorsey
low tide
people seem
more honest
My Response:
new moon
I can’t find
the truth
