More somewhat less traditional English haiku from my recent exploration. Again, I've kept to the 5-7-5 meter, but have departed from the theme of nature.
Pencil to paper,
Forming words from heart and mind.
Poets brethren.
*
Schoolgirl, age fifteen.
Wind drying tears on her face.
Time drying her heart.
*
Statue of Hermes
Standing by in all weather
Imparts a message.
*
Sleeping on a couch
A young woman with arms crossed
Settles all disputes.
*
Sede vacante.
Benedict the Sixteenth lives.
New ground for the church.
*
Empty theater.
Shadows of thousands of plays.
Not truly empty.
*
Long forgotten bridge.
Duck with duckling caravan.
Only they can cross.
I liked this one in particular:

Thanks. I'm fond of that one myself.
