j. d. nelson : haiku
about the author



icy autumn night —
looking for the moon, I find
bird’s nest silhouette

Lafayette, Colorado



beneath the streetlight —
the fluorescent yellow leaves
hiding the sidewalk

Lafayette, Colorado


the old creaking fence —
flashes in the moonless sky
without the thunder

Lafayette, Colorado


after the shower —
just a few scattered blackbirds,
a low-flying hawk

Lafayette, Colorado


golden leaves pressed flat
against the basketball court —
moon behind the clouds

Lafayette, Colorado


a goose calls out twice
as Orion disappears —
just before sunrise

Lafayette, Colorado


cool September breeze —
smoke from the chiminea,
two crickets chirping

Lafayette, Colorado


perched on a stop sign
the mynah bird screams at cars —
first rain of autumn

55th Street & Central Avenue, Boulder, Colorado
