renga (Carpe Diem Haiku Kai)

evening
waves come into the cove
one at a time {Jane Reichold 2000}

silent mist sprays
over our nakedness

sandals in petals
yet he’s so poor
his hat’s a sack {Matsuo Basho}

my starving artist
fills me plenty

sleeping outdoors
with friends
summer constellations {Matsuo Basho}

backs on ticklish grass
seven sisters beaming

Alone (tanka) (Daily Moments Feb. 10 2017)

comforting silence
swoosh of passing cars
sounds of life
alone I am – but,
still part of the living

butterfly moment (troiku – haiga)

butterfly-moment

(troiku)

sometimes I wish
I was a butterfly
one brief moment

sometimes I wish
one heartfelt scene
and, time would stop

I was a butterfly
one sweet moment
forever prised

one brief moment
bliss
seals the heart

Troiku is a new form of haiku created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

wish I could vanish
while migraine tiptoes away
thumps above my head

thumps above my head
children
know not better

when storms abate
inside my head
embracing moments

embracing moments
hearts beating
my friend and I

Walking home from work,  she sometimes feels the pain of many weigh on her. Shuffling home with heavy foot, tears run down her cheeks.

melancholy
clinging to her shadow
rain washed it away

rain washed it away
leaving just one
tear on her cheek

softly brushed his arm,
gracefully pouring tea

spiritual way (tanka)

on the rooftop
in quiet contemplation
sun bows gracefully
wishing love and happiness
shanti shanti shanti
