MELISSA LAUSSMANN

FALL ISSUE #10 POET

Melissa Laussmann resides in a small town in Texas with her daughter. When she’s not in the campus library where she works, you can find her playing mahjong, taking long walks outdoors, watching movies, or reading classic Japanese haiku. You can find her poems in journals such as Three Line Poetry, Haiku Journal, Cold Moon Journal, and Poetry Quarterly.

HAIKU

rising early

humming river sounds

in the dawn mist

storm brewing—

the smell of flowers

in my teacup
