haiku novels and criticism
by David G. Lanoue
reviews - order - for teachers - about me - about haiku novels

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
