Featured Haiku – Under the Same Moon (Australian Haiku Anthology)

This week’s featured poet from ‘Under the Same Moon’, the Fourth Australian Haiku Anthology, is Marietta McGregor.

in my inner ear
meadow lark

time flows
around a heron
frost-tipped reeds

coastal cottage
the pale-blue feel
of aired sheets

unwilling to lose
the last of day
a lily’s light

– Marietta McGregor
