Memorable haiku:

fresh trout

the large pale spotted

waiter

Claudia Coutu Radmore

white caps

gulls add their curved wings

to the clouds

Grant Savage

sunlight

through the yellow freesia

snow on the sill

Philomene Kocher

singing to full colour

through the rising haze

indigo bunting

Guy Simser

snow berries --

on leafless branches

the shortest day

Betty Warrington Kearsley

New Year’s Day

the path before us

curves into sunset

Margo Gallant

after the rain

the cardinal’s

cheerful whistle

Lois Harvey

meandering –

and from the ice

the familiar sound of spring

Patrick Campbell

looking ill

in its garden bed

my echinacea

Maureen Glaude

Guest Poets:

snow-laden evening

from branch to branch

the moon

Ann Goldring

autumn crows

undressing after the funeral

we make love

Marco Fraticelli

february

a heart shaped puddle

full of slush

Jacob Harris

one last look

through the bamboo window

next year’s tulips underground
