Daily Moments reflections in the dark July 15 2017

At Virtual Haiku on Facebook, we are asked to write a haiku to the photo shown This inspired me to write several and so I decided to use one of my photos and add the haiku and one tanka below. Also the prompt at HaikuHorizons this week is coincidentally, dark.

secrets
stored in dark corners
await

dusk revealing
untold secrets
another time

twilight mysteries
alluring and entertaining
hoot of an owl

embrace your fears
attune to uncertainty
insights may appear

childhood secrets
hiding in the dark – away,
from their happy place
carved into the crevices
of their soul

Daily Moments reflections in the dark July 15 2017

humble trees (haiku)

nature pauses
trees melt in the horizon
enter twilight

wedding night (senryu)

bright strawberry moon
in the heat of the night
their bodies cling

Haiku Horizons: Bright

guiding light (troiku)

Just before dawn
life seems to be on pause -still,
the north star shines bright

just before dawn
restless fledglings peep
mother eyes the worm

life seems to be on pause – still,
with bated breath –
baby’s first step

the north star shines bright
both on sea and land,
earth’s guiding light

Haiku Horizons: Bright

spring blossoms (troiku)

(troiku)

June blossoms
wings coming back to life
stealing their hearts

June blossoms
painting shades
in living colour

wings come back to life
honey bees and butterflies
falling in love

stealing their hearts
monks chant at sundown
bowing their heads

Haiku Horizons: steal

First kiss (haiku)

hesitant and teasing
bumping noses seeking…
that first kiss

Haiku Horizons: kiss

total submission (haiku)

soothing their angst
a mother’s lullaby
submits them to sleep

———-

taste of those lips
fall into submission
dripping with desire

Haiku Horizons: submit

blessings (haiku)

an angel looks up
listening to the bird sing
out the window

Daily Moments – reflections of spring – May 15/17 (Troibun)

Spring is really here, she thinks as she walks along the boulevard. Finally, lawns are brightening from last season’s slumber. Dandelions are starting to poke their heads here and there, a sure sign of warmer times to come. Such a treat to walk outside in lighter clothes, no longer the weight of winter coats and fur lined boots, she ponders as she sneezes and wipes her teary eyes.

(troiku)

scents
tickling her nose
fresh cut grass

scents
warming her heart
roses for Mother

tickling her nose
along the roadside
dandelions giggle

fresh cut grass
summer in the horizon –
grating lawn mowers
