The haiku will be linked by the subject City Life. It is not necessary for each haiku to relate to the one before it.
- Please contribute up to three of your best haiku.
- Haiku should be posted in the comment box at the end of the post.
- Haiku posted must be original work by the poet making the post. Please include your name below each haiku as you wish it to appear.
Posting your work in the AHS Autumn Equinox Haiku String 2019 assumes the following:
Copyright of each haiku remains with the author. We request nonexclusive permission to publish your work on AHS website and to republish it in any future online collections on the AHS website.

city parklands
squealing tyres and sirens
echo through the trees

* hanging on the gate
with hotnews
throwned newspaper
* the shaky appearance
hot sunstroke
zebra crossing
* roadside beauty
handshaking with breeze
the autumn leaves

at pollen tea room
we gather for brunch
soft rain
secondhand bookstore
greeting an old friend
laughingly
across the street
an asian woman scurries
with the lunch billboard

It’s a dog friendly cafe in Tasmania! Here in the U.K. I have a great cafe where on the ground floor I often get to meet all kinds of dogs, from the tiny mutts to big Belgian mastiffs, and I love it! 🙂

dawn…
more cockatoos than cars
in the mall carpark
driving at dusk
I mistake the moon
for a streetlight
