Congratulations to the winners of the 2023 Dreamers Haiku Contest! Thanks to our guest judge, Reinekke Lengelle. Read the winning haiku…

Oh, Seroma

“The pillagers with their noisy knives, their silent radiation. You look like a moon crater with a shallow lake…”

Envelopes

“Like white linen butterflies, envelopes flew and fluttered with each passing car. Refugees on the asphalt…”

Stages of Grief

“Anger’s fierce light split the shell I wore, seared this grief-bruised brain, with fiery cleansing…”

Left Home Torn

Left Home Torn

“Each fall the sharp-eyed gannets arrived in long lines, plunging from the sky and learning how to swallow underwater.”

A Bed as a Nest

Aching claws and depression and addiction so deep, she sometimes just wants to sleep in her bed forever.

Kelly Cammack Poetry Collection

My sister is slowly killing me with every failed suicide. The one thing we have in common: We float.
