Twain
a nonet poem
whale leaves her pod, intrigued by others
floating on surface of the sea
familiar voices echo
throughout the cold waters
greetings repeated
frustrating
“whups”
talk
Haiku Rain
a nonet poem
secret poets plot stealth graffiti
composing inner injustice
invisible painted poems
on steps of city hall
water will trigger
visible tears
haiku spied
in the
rain
