#Haiku Happenings #4: Bill Waters’ latest haiku and #tanka for #nahaiwrimo2021!
tropical harbor
the rattle and splash
of the anchor chain
[2/6 prompt = The Chain]
two narwhals
crossing swords!
pepperoni dreams
[2/7 prompt = Tusk]
Tangiers . . .
strolling the maze
of the Medina
[2/8 prompt = Tangerine]
four sticks,
their fuses flaring
— “fire in the hole!”
[2/9 prompt = Four Sticks]
56 feet
and rising . . .
Mississippi 1927
[2/10 prompt = When the Levee Breaks]
the clank of tanks
and billows of smoke and flame!
arms in the air
they stumble and stagger
from their bunkers
[2/11 prompt = Dazed and Confused]
hemmed in
they share out
their last bullets . . .
the sun creeps higher
while death creeps closer
[2/12 prompt = No Quarter]
