singing cicadas
I feel the sultry day
in my bones

Thursday, July 1, 2021

childhood memories

Welcome to the July 2021 issue of brass bell: a haiku journal.

The theme of this month’s collection is childhood memories.


homecoming —
even the river’s rocks
less jagged

the old porch —
grandpa’s war stories
still fresh
    Mirela Brailean

just the wind
over the scratches —
orphanage yard
