3 Haiku

By Mark Walker

Sailing


Seeing the ocean
Oh, to sail on that water
to glide on her skin




Haiku for Bill Lanphar


Oh, our dear brother

Silent steel strings sing no more

A still water now




MV Conception


There’s a hole in the harbor
A hole in my heart
An ocean of tears can’t fill
