WHCshortverses: Dodoitsu & Mondo
Selected by Elizabeth St Jacques

Dodoitsu

the night is heavy with stars
and the yearning of crickets
and you, too, lying so close
there is no other


Marjorie Buettner
Minnesota, US

how can my heart be merry
though the orange tree is in bloom?
petals crumble as white clouds
with my broken dreams

Debra Woolard Bender
Florida, US

if in cherry blossom time
instead of dead of winter
the evening of our parting
would have been as cold


Debra Woolard Bender
Florida, US

Mondo

having awakened
in the middle of the night
what dreams were cast in feathers?

ask of your pillow
if you slept within my arms,
tossed from dream to dream to dream.


Debra Woolard Bender
Florida, US
