a few haiku and senryu style from Jerome Berglund

1
      even when 
can’t see them 
      chirping cheers me

2
      new life among 
the mud, last year's leaves — 
      welcome the rain

3
      tinnitus
not the midnight special
      hoping for

4
      visit my old hood
through Google maps, 
      tent cities far as arrows go

5
      planting time passes quickly 
 sow oats
      if you like bread
