Making a List
Jerome Berglund & Eavonka Ettinger
through the storm
a red nose – wrapped around
telephone pole
his eggnog laced
wife’s sly grin
such a clatter
on the roof
sharpshooter takes aim…
evil elves
making creepy dolls
ooze blood
in the bag
no regrets
the north pole
damaged beyond
recognition
Jerome Berglund has published many haiku, haiga and haibun, most recently in Bottle Rockets, Frogpond, and Modern Haiku. His first collections Bathtub Poems and Funny Pages were just released by Setu and Meat For Tea press, and a mixed media chapbook showcasing his fine art photography is available now from Yavanika. Eavonka Ettinger arrived at haiku after a journey through theatre, film, spoken word poetry, and teaching. She is grateful to her writing community for inspiration and growth. A few places her work has appeared are Poetry Pea, Failed Haiku, Akitsu Quarterly, Horror Senryu Journal, and Cold Moon Journal.
