Boxing the wind
I knocked the North Pole
Out cold

Manna Falls
Cardinals bicker
and knock seed from the feeder.
Doves parade below.
Hope in Winter
Robin on the lawn.
Three hops and stops to listen.
Somewhere must be spring.

WATER DRAWINGS IN A SERIES OF LINKED MAYBE HAIKU
water fills me with you
mist and drizzle with sunlight
Christmas lights in prisms
listen to the water fall
the edge a pool of glimmer
smooth skinned and happy
when I drink this water
I wear your hand in my glove
your impression on my love
God created life out of water
good from the earth
you because he knew of me
water silvers the skyline
the city and town
the branch you sit upon
because of you
even water
is more beautiful
FIVE HAIKU POEMS – Neil Ellman

Prove you love me now
lift your skirt and close your eyes—
not a soul will know.
The slit in your dress
undiscovered land in sight—
there I’ll raise my flag.
Like a stone in flames
diamond-hardness of desire—
fire so quickly spent.
Silly girl, don’t speak!
your eyes say what I should know—
now, silence is best.
Let you and I suck
on memories of last night—
manna of the gods.
