I am pleased to submit the following selected poems from my personal "favorite haiku" list, one I've developed over the last 30 years or so. All have been approved by the authors; all include publication credits (except one from Patricia Machmiller which is unpublished); all are from the U.S. Pacific coastal rim (my region). I have chosen "close observation" as my theme, a guiding principle in my own writing, and a core element IMO for developing a Haiku Mind.

Peace,

Billie Dee

It is an extraordinary sight isn't it?


How the missing body, now broken down, is for a short while taken over by another agency.


I'm reminded of this experience in Queensland, Australia:


high noon: half a bandicoot is the flies’ hum
