Two Haiku by Rick Hartwell

Luxuriantly
Moss and fern at the swamp’s edge
Sinister welcome


Peregrination
As coastal fog dissipates
Eden named anew





Rick Hartwell is a retired middle school teacher (remember the hormonally-challenged?) living in Southern California. He believes in the succinct, that the small becomes large; and, like the Transcendentalists and William Blake, that the instant contains eternity. Given his “druthers,” if he’s not writing, Rick would rather still be tailing plywood in a mill in Oregon. He can be reached at rdhartwell@gmail.com.
