After months apart
melting in each other’s arms
their lips lock

swirls of grey Haiku
looming swirls of grey
billowing
winds declare a storm

remembering ash trees (Solo no Renga)
traveling from afar
hunt their own tree as a host
slowly sucks out life
emerald ash borers thrive
turning hope to disrepair
star shines in reverence
through bare branches
lost leaves of ash

overrated clocks (Troiku)
(Troiku)
in its dimness – still,
swallows announce a new day
clocks are optional
in its dimness – still,
early bird catches the worm
one peep echoes
swallows announce a new day
purple clouds transforming
pink splash in the sky
clocks are optional
as the night lifts its dimness
pup wines at the door

Casse-Noisette (haibun)
Every Christmas Place des Arts is filled with parents and children, especially little girls sitting and watching with awe.
small feet dance
each move is part of a love story
filled with wonder

heavenly skies (troiku)
day ends
sun dips beyond rippling waves
with grace
day ends
glow of crescent moon
last performance
sun dips beyond rippling waves
gentle journey
reaching eastern seas
with grace
and quiet contemplation
savours nature’s gift

Daily moments – lost innocence (haibun)
Today, she sits in quiet contemplation. A day of rest for the body and yet, the heart remembers stories of untold secrets that remain silenced. Too many pieces to that puzzle missing, she sighs, wishing she could do more…
no one could resist
weeping
lost innocence
no one could resist
dancing to wise women’s song
free the children
Somehow, that song and action to free other children around the world soothed her…for today.

twilight’s symphony (troiku)
blistering heat
cicadas together in concert
summer music
blistering heat
welcomes nightfall – and,
disrobing
cicadas together in concert
swamped by deep throated moos
a bullfrog’s call
summer music
sudden breeze moves wind chimes
shivers down her spine

After the rain (troiku)
after the rain
running and skipping
on the wet ground
after the rain
birds know the meaning
pot holes are baths
running and skipping
dreams of a rainbow –then,
cries with delight
on the wet ground
steps on his image – splash!
puzzled raised head

soulmates (troibun)
Since the spring of 2015 butterflies seemed to appear in thickets, on city streets and rested calmly so she could admire the colours of her wings. She often wondered if this was her mother visiting or another soul from another life.
gazing with awe
wings of a butterfly
her new-found-friend
gazing with awe
reposing
flower to flower
wings of a butterfly
colours and patterns
Divine’s creation
her new-found-friend
blessed
with an angel
