by David G. Lanoue

reviews - order - for teachers - about me - about haiku novels

Haiku Guy cover

haiku by Lanoue from Haiku Guy...

"pardon our dust"
the fire ants build
their city
a red glint
in its bubble eye
fly
faces in the next car
one
a Chihuahua

Laughing Buddha cover

haiku by Lanoue from Laughing Buddha...

no direction is wrong
arms
of the oak
old stone bridge
whether I cross it
or not
shined by the storm
the clip-clopping
mule

Pure Land Haiku cover

haiku by Issa from Pure Land Haiku...

little snail
inch by inch, climb
Mount Fuji!
lightning flash
only the dog's face
is innocent
in autumn wind
trusting in the Buddha
little butterfly

Cup-of-Tea poems cover

haiku by Issa from Cup-of-Tea Poems...

blown away
by the horse's fart
firefly
looking me over
with a grimace
frog
dirty, yes
but the cat
has a wife

haiku by Lanoue from works in progress...

pizza parlor
after the murders
help wanted
a "Lost Dog" sign
nailed deep
into the oak
my ferret's memorial
musk-scented
pillow
