1 a.m.
reading with
a flashlight
the last page
sadder than I
thought it would be
rainy day reading
the pages stick
together
1 a.m.
staring at a page
I’ve read six times
the stack of books
I want to read
gather dust
the sound
of pages turning
coffee turns cold
I am pleased to announce the release of Threads, a collection of contemporary haiku and senryu. This collection reflects my evolution and growth as a haiku poet over the last five years – none of which would have been possible without the kind support of my readers here on Haiku Tree and my main blog C.B. Wentworth. Your daily visits to my blogs along with your likes and comments encourage me more than you’ll ever know.
Threads is available on Wattpad, a social media publishing platform that encourages interactions between writers and readers. It offers writers a place to publish eBooks and gives readers access to free eBooks. To read Threads all you need is an account with Wattpad, which is free, easy to set up, and works on any device (phone, tablet, etc). That’s all there is to it!
To celebrate the release, the haikus posted on Haiku Tree this week will be excerpts from Threads. Click on the cover for direct access to Threads on Wattpad. It is posted as an ongoing work, which means new haiku will be added over the next couple of weeks. Hope to see you there!
Thank you for your support!

still awake with
a good book

the pages I read
linger in my head
pages flutter
