Port Angeles Haiku (Raymond Carver)
The slices make whole
a life too short, and too long
under raining skies.

At Raymond Carver’s grave, Port Angeles, WA

Walden Pond Haiku (Henry David Thoreau)
The Walden cabin—
Gnats bite, water ripples, walk
around the big pond.

Walden, MA

Lowell Haiku (Jack Kerouac)
I read your books, Jack—
And now here I am, living
on my own road now.

Lowell, MA
