Stanford M. Forrester is a past president of the Haiku Society of America as well as the editor of bottle rockets: a collection of short verse, which boasts its 14th year in print. Stanford has had poems published in many journals and anthologies worldwide. He perhaps is most proud of his haiku being included in Haiku edited by Peter Washington in the Everyman's Pocket Poetry Series published by Knopf and American Zen: A Gathering of Poets published by Bottomdog Press. In 2004 he took first seat in the 57th Annual Basho Anthology Contest in Ueno, Japan and in 2012, one of his haiku won second place in the International Robert Frost Poetry & Haiku contest.

dark skies
held over —
my midnight viewing
Woman’s bashful soul!
through the double-window, the moon
is just mirroring
azure sky–
gone for a while
the day moon
a brazen mooning
boys in their VW
rear ends in the wind
waiting room full
at hospital emerg –
full moon
alone
at a table for two-
moonlit tears
formless clouds take light
from the perfect moon–
full for how long?
moon viewing
fog moves the moon
in and out
full moon
elders dying
babies born,
my tooth aches
even:
party viewing–
late arrivals miss
eclipse of the moon
