a hole in a leaf
a passage to a new world
the beetle moves on
© Dan Brook 2018
Dan says of himself, “I’m a writer, speaker, poet, photographer, activist, wanderer, wonderer, and professor of political science and sociology in the beautiful and bountiful San Francisco Bay Area.” Find out more about him and his writing at About Me.
Dan originally submitted this haiku for the theme of LEAF. I chose another of his haiku for that theme, but this re-written haiku I felt was perfect for our new theme …
This haiku is part of our PORTAL theme!

Thank you for journeying with my guests and I as we explored the theme of leaf.
I’m taking a break again from Pure Haiku until the New Year. However, I will be opening Pure Haiku to submissions next week when a new theme will be announced! Hope to hear from you all then!
Before I go, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part in my shoutout for the launch of my first poetry collection,
Insides. Please let me know if I can ever repay the compliment.
Now that the leaves are falling and autumn is fading, what better way to say goodbye for now than to leave you with a haiku from Dragonsilk.

Corpses underneath
My feet crunch from the fallen
Soldiers of autumn.
© Jessyca Mathews 2016
Here is the third haiku from our featured haiku writer this week! I am pleased to introduce Jessyca Mathews, lover of Channing Tatum, Common, Leo DiCaprio, and other beautiful things, and all-around cool chick. Have you checked out her blog yet? Sultry Lyricist
I loved the way Jessyca marries the fallen leaves of autumn with dead corpses of soldiers beneath her feet.
This haiku is part of my
LEAF series.

Floating gracefully
In the cool spring breeze without
Knowing where I land

I enjoyed the airiness of this haiku and the clever structuring of the sentences.
