`quiet resurrection`
rain pelts on longleaf—
old pines rise like blood‑kin ghosts
calling me back home

`Tired`
Some hurt just don’t heal —
a tired that tastes like old grief
settling in my soul

`a quiet void `
Within reflection —
sequestered memories dwell
tired soul gently weeps

For the first time, the judges at HaikuCrush.com selected one poet's three #haiku for publication in the annual, international The Best Haiku #anthology. Pictured is Edward Cody Huddleston standing next to a fence with a sign attached that thanks visitors to Fernbank Forest in #Atlanta, #Georgia United States. White oak, tulip poplar and loblolly pine trees grow up to 48 meters or 156 feet in this forest. "I love haiku for the brevity and power of the medium. Moments that would be otherwise lived only once become immortal through the art," he says. Edward's three haiku -- "after the breeze... ", "morning dew... " and "graveside service... " are published in The Best Haiku 2025 Collection 5 #book, now available at http://tinyurl.com/TheBestHaiku/ (other countries may vary).

A fountain plaque honoring the Gibbon Family in 1968
A cement pathway leading to a fountain on the side of the Heinz Hall building in Pittsburgh, PA
Hope springs up like a
fountain spilling over heart
borders and fears too
The fall fountain falls
Gently on the hurting place
protecting one's peace
