A Season of Poems
by Marjorie Buettner
how rain answers rain
these lengthening days that fold
and unfold again
our bodies have a language
that sings to us in our sleep
(Simply Haiku, Vol. 2, #4, 2004)
Late summer
wild roses have taken over
the garden path
how their scent beckons me
wanting more than I dare
(World Haiku Review, Vol. 1, #3, 2001)
Cool autumn's wind
reaches the open window
and enters slowly
then I am in your embrace
warmed by your breath in my hair
(In The Ship’s Wake, Tanka Anthology, 2001, Iron Press)
how dangerous
these desires that grow
needing delivery
I welcome this cold moon dance
my skin the color of stars
