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

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.
