Unexpected throne~

on a deserted old road~

rest 'dem weary bones!

I wrote this haiku to accompany a photograph I took on a rainy afternoon. My subject was a single, lone chair serving time as a respite for a rural bus stop in northern Japan. I submitted the photo and the haiku to Dust Poetry Magazine for publication. My photo and haiku appear in Dust Poetry Magazine’s Issue 5, Portraits: Gallery of Empty Chairs.

My Warren Zevon haiku was also recently published in Dust Poetry Magazine. It is titled “Haiku 3” because it was the third of three haiku I submitted to the magazine together…they selected the Zevon haiku for publication. Here is the link:
