Stephen A. Peters

Bellingham, Washington

When the ying and the yang are somewhat in balance and the phase of the moon is right, Stephen A. Peters enjoys writing haiku, senyru, and tanka. The poems included here have previously been published in the Haiku Society of America literary journal Frogpond.


farmers’ market

behind the vegetables

a faded shirt


hospital light

a shirt turned

inside out


class reunion

the most likely to succeed

borrows a cigarette


scudding clouds

the bride expresses

second thoughts


false spring

the steam rising

from woolen gloves
