Therefore, I want to urge our guest-poet family to continue to send me their off-line work, so we can make it available to a broader audience by posting it at f\/k\/a<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For example, see what you’re been missing from haijin Tom Clausen<\/a> by not subscribing<\/a> to the bi-annual anthology of the Route 9 Haiku Group, Upstate Dim Sum<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>Here’s a dozen from Tom that appeared in the Fall 2007 issue<\/a> of UDS<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

flurries…
\na truck piled high
\nwith hay<\/p>\n

too faint
\nfor my son to see
\na little used trail<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

sun come out…
\nthe walk home
\nwith my shadow<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

full of dirt
\na dump truck waits
\nfor her to cross<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

summer – <\/a>
\nseeing more
\nof her<\/p>\n

flower garden
\nwhere she buries
\nthe goldfish<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

pleasant forecast –
\nmy wife announces
\nher plan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

urologist’s office –
\na framed photograph
\nof the falls<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

the place emptied …
\na spring breeze
\nblows through<\/p>\n

in the dark
\nseeing my flashlight batteries

a week before he died –
\nnew glasses
\nfor distance<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
