Four Haiku from Mark Gibson’s The In-Between Land

The In-Between Land: Psalms, Poems and Haiku will be released in print and as an eBook on 15 June 2015.

The book will be launched at 2.30pm on Saturday, 13 June 2015 at Wainoni Methodist Church, Avonside Drive, (between Kerrs Road & Wainoni Road.)

Here are sample haiku that appear in the book.

autumn leaves party
loudly for days on the trees,
then loiter on streets

 

first snow of winter
white magic-dust turning hills
into polar bears

 

 the gardener plants
evenly spaced lettuces
self-sown spud subverts

 

light loiters around
long into the evening
taunting the darkness
