Haiku: John McDonald

wunter solstice 
a pearl remuved
days growein brichter

grianstad an gheimhridh
cataracht bainte
laethanta geala chugainn

airly mornin –
the cailleach stauns
it the bingo-ha door

i moiche maidine
seanbhean ina seasamh
os comhair an halla bhiongó

i the quate
the soond
o the eucharist brekkin

ciúnas
fuaim na habhlainne naofa
á briseadh

slaw train
tae San Francisco
Kerouac . . .Kerouac . . ..Kerouac

traein mhall
go San Francisco
Kerouac  . . . Kerouac  . . . Kerouac

drien snaw –
ilka tree
a siller birk

sneachta síobtha –
an uile chrann
ina bheith gheal

peerie skwurrel
bussie-tailed –
soopin the leaves

iora rua beag –
eireaball dosach
ag scuabadh na nduilleog


blowster ower –
the maple tree's
bleck skelet

tar éis na stoirme
creatlach dhubh
na mailpe

leaves faw
ligg
wi the hameless

titeann duilleoga
luíonn leo siúd
atá gan dídean

oot frae Mass –
tentie o craw
dookin's breid i the burn

tar éis Aifrinn –
ag breathnú ar phréachán
a thumann arán sa sruth
