shadows break at dusk
that’s how the starlight gets in
dance me to each crack
ashen words aglow
burn well through darkest of nights
breathe hallelujah
share his secret chord
frees us all from the tower
then recoup our souls

I recently submitted 3 haiku about Leonard Cohen to “Fevers of the Mind“ and were included in the anthology “Avalanches in Poetry III Poetry, Writings & Art Inspired by Leonard Cohen“!
I am just happy to be published! I am a huge fan of Leonard Cohen and it was a sad day when he passed away. I was lucky enough to see him in concert … twice!
And he did write haiku….
Summer Haiku
for Frank and Marion Scott
Silence
and a deeper silence
when the crickets
hesitate
