Monday

Roses are swaying.
A voiceless insect trembles
in the fragrance.

 

                       Ljubomir Dragovic
                      Sibenik, Croatia

Tuesday

great back then
but years have diminished it—
my first haiku

                       J.D. Heskin
                       Duluth, Minnesota

Wednesday

morning on the road—
a young birch tree
emerges from the mist

 

                     Jasminka Nadaskic Djordjevic  
                     Smederevo, Serbia

 

 

Thursday

My place is my place
with only me to define it.
The doors, such as they are,
open to my friends.
The rooms feel empty
and the walls sing.
Me in the middle.

                     Charlie Rossiter
                     Oak Park, Illinois

                      

 

Weekend

late to the office
my desk already piled high
with zucchini

 

                       Charles Trumbull
                       Evanston, Illinois


The Electronic Poetry Network (EPN), founded in 1997 and edited by Carlos Colon, uses the work of poets from around the world. In addition to being featured on this web site, the poetry is displayed all day or all weekend long on an electronic message board located on the first floor of the Main (Downtown) Branch of our library.  If you wish to have your poems considered for the EPN, please send 5-10 short poems (no longer than about 50 words each) to ccolon@shreve-lib.org. The poems do not need to be haiku. They just need to be short and suitable for the general public. Previously published poems are acceptable.
