Haiku Scotland #18

The latest issue of Haiku Scotland is #18.

£1 for four pages of A4 is not bad value. Despite its name the magazine is limited neither to haiku nor Scotland, publishing a variety of short verse from all over the world with Ireland and the USA predominant in this issue.

Featured poet is Devin Wayne Davis whose contributions include

perspective: overpass

rome of tomorrow;
parthenon off-ramps;
swap-meet coliseum;
car lot catacombs
beneath the freeway.

A couple of my favourites here are Helen Buckingham's update of Stevie Smith's famous image:

kids on the beach--
not waving
but phoning

and John W Sexton's

unsettled night
catching the cat's tail
in the kitchen door

The issue also includes a report on the results of the 2008 International Haiku Competiton by the Irish Haiku Society.
