Hueston Woods Haiku Trail
Congratulations to the following poets, whose haiku have been installed on the Haiku Trail in Hueston Woods State Park. The following poems are listed alphabetically by author. The order of the haiku on the actual trail differs from the order provided here. We plan to add photos of the trail and of each haiku sign as soon as we can.

the sound of leaves a patch of red

predawn hush falling willow leaves
the forest some stories are better
still dripping whispered

to an old nest this life will end

summer rain... pond sunrise ...
the tapping my shadow walks
of an old walking stick the other bank

Wilton, Connecticut Fox Island, Washington
branch to branch rolling thunder
a squirrel at the edge what the heron swallowed
of dusk kicks

evening stroll dappled light
the fragrance of the linden a patch of leaf litter
before the linden becomes sparrows

a pair of trees the path
that never touch . . . that leaves the path
spring longing wild cherry

my favorite bench one deep breath
already taken for a moment the pine
. . . falling leaves is part of me
