George Held has published another haiku, this time in the Red Eft Review (see their quote in the sentence below.)
“George Held is a prolific writer of haiku and has published them in Red Eft Review, the Aurorean, Blogfinger.net, bear creek haiku, and elsewhere. His latest book is Second Sight (Poets Wear Prada, 2019).”
We thank George for including us in his list of places where his poems roost. (George loves birds.)
Blogfinger is reproducing that Red Eft Review haiku below.
And speaking of shoes (Poets Wear Prada), here is a Blogfinger link to a very recent post of ours about shoes.
And now, ladies and germs, we bring you a haiku by George Held…uh, not so fast! That post will be found if you travel south of here.
Meanwhile, this boy, George, is recognized for what he said, because his words help guide those on journeys:
“Something the Boy Said.” by Sting from his album Ten Summoner’s Tales:
When we set out on this journey
There were no doubts in our minds
We set our eyes to the distance
We would find what we would find
We took courage from our numbers
What we sought we did not fear
Sometimes we’d glimpse a shadow falling
The shadow would disappear
But our thoughts kept returning
To something the boy said…

Winter Haiku
By George Held
The winter sky
resumes at 6 a.m.–
black boughs on gray slate
January cold wave–
even the paving stones
are shivering
Winter’s yield
is icy cold and snow–
no birdsong till spring
FRANK SINATRA:
