N is for night crawlers (troibun)

N is for night crawlers that come to life after a warm summer rain. There is nothing more sensual and soothing than rain showers at night. Raindrops fall like ivory keys creating bittersweet melodies.

(troiku)

twilight rain
enticing and sultry
invites night crawlers

twilight rain
subtle drumming
on a tin roof

enticing and sultry
all night long
hypnotic sounds

invites night crawlers
nature’s fragrance lures
droplets kiss the grass

M is for Marigold (haibun)

After sowing the seeds for her vegetables, she plants marigolds around her garden. The flowers outline the entire garden like frame embellishes artist’s canvas. The scent wards off unwelcome guests.

K is for Kite (Haibun)

He walks to the beach with his little guy whose eyes are wide and sparkling. The sun is glowing and there is a gentle breeze. “Just perfect”, his grandfather says.

waving gently to the clouds
little boy’s first kite

sensual clouds (haiga)

curls and swirls,
seductive and flirting
with a rainbow

J is for Joy (Troibun)

Life offers many joys. One just has to stop and notice they are here even in the saddest times, under grey clouds and personal strife. She shuffles reflecting on her solitude wistfully aiming for the city park.

swallows chirp

skipping, running joyfully
tag you’re it

joy etched on lips
brings new life
spirit glows

devious lures(haibun)

Crossing the bridge, she looks out the window of the bus and sees most of the ice has liquefied…a patch here and there as a reminder winter kept a stronghold on nature. What an imposing fellow Mister Winter can be sometimes!
