Quails Eggs 

Issue 1 2025 

paperwhite narcissus

in front of the mirror

feeling ugly again

M R Defibaugh

paperwhite narcissus

his reflection distorted

ripples in the pond

Katherine E Winnick

Commentary :

M.R. Defibaugh’s haiku is an allusive poem itself. The poem connects to the myth of Narcissus, a man so in love with his own reflection in a pool of water that the obsession led to his demise. Whereas Narcissus is captivated by his own beauty, the speaker in M.R.’s original poem is distressed by the sight of his own visage in the mirror. Katherine E Winnick does a skillful job of maintaining the original allusion while still creating a haiku that connects to the seed poem. The opening line serves as the allusive linchpin; not only does it name a specific flower, but it directly names the source myth. Katherine also connects to the original myth by using the image of a pond rather than a mirror. The second line connects to M.R.’s sense of ‘feeling ugly.’ A distorted reflection is not usually a flattering one. Katherine doesn’t have to name the feeling; she conveys it skillfully in her organization of allusive images.

Mischief

By Katherine E Winnick & Sherry Grant

resident magpie....

touching the gold

in her hair 

    shadow from

    the spinning wheel

    

the pin drops

lost amongst

the thread

    tracing a map...

    half way down

    his memory lane

snowdrops scattered

across the path

    sunset

    hoarding that last

    bit of warmth

Raining Rengay

May 2025 

in the doorway

a man's shadow--

autumn evening

Seira

autumn sun

the leaves brush

a man's shadow
