We, the Coronado Scribes, consist of both professional and amateur writers. We have in common a desire to learn, by sharing our efforts and listening to other writers. We hold pressure-less sessions every Wednesday, at the Coronado Library conference room, starting at 1:30. Often we have guests who wish to just listen. They are welcome, and so are you.
Each week on eCoronado, we will feature a different piece of prose or poetry produced by one of our writers. Please feel free to comment or ask questions in the comment section below.
haiku (scraggly black rat)
scraggly black rat
scurries across icy street
urban survivor
haiku (old buck tenses)
old buck tenses
as hunter’s bullets pierce the air
blood stains virgin snow
haiku (squirrel gathers nuts)
squirrel gathers nuts
as wood smoke curls from chimney
one scarlet leaf falls
tanka (the wild scent)
the wild scent
of irises trapped in a vase
fills the room
old woman remembers
fields of blue
* Both Haiku and Tanka are forms of Japanese poetry
