Chad Lee Robinson writes haiku, senryu, and tanka. He is from Pierre, South Dakota, a small town on the banks of the Missouri River, where he lives with his wife and helps run a small, old-fashioned deli/bakery/meat market with his dad. He has an English degree from South Dakota State University, where the state poet laureate, David Allan Evans, introduced him to haiku. His work has since been published in more than forty print and online journals, as well as in numerous anthologies. His chapbook, Pop Bottles, was published by True Vine Press in 2009.
stars at dawn:
the clatter of small change
on the coffee shop counter
8 seconds . . .
the bull rider opens
a hand to the sky
day’s end
the length of my fish
the length of my father’s fish
