Issue #16 Oregon Cascades and Smith Rock, October 11 - 18, 2001. haiku and drawings: Jonathan Machen, with haiku additions by Michael Conti




vermillion sponge
colonizing every niche
mossy forest floor




unlike the toadstool
that slowly pushes the earth
this toad hops away




ferns kissing my feet
their affection seemingly
nourished by the rain




this salmon carcass
found on the tributary
of the Mackenzie




the round white cap stood
hidden low beneath the ferns
a mushroom quite proud




hunters with a mule
express their disappointment
to have missed a kill
