a crescent moon winks
on rickety knees she bows
oh, Kotodama!

…but, it’s not even Good Friday! (haiku) Daily Moments 4/26/19
Melancholy rain
from here to eternity
someone still grieves
Melancholy rain
Droplets quiver on dead leaves
nature in mourning

Daily Moments April 26 2019 … but it’s not even Good Friday!
Easter Chrysanthemums (troibun)
The family gathers together celebrating Easter with a traditional French-Canadian meal. Children are nearing middle age and grands are teens, too cool to laugh at Nana’s silly jokes…the stages of life surround the dining table. Erickson would have a thing or two to say about this. A daughter who never forgets her mom’s favourite flowers, tying the feast with a ribbon of love.
Blossoms reminisce
Travelling through time
Mums the word
Blossoms reminisce
Recalling
Her first step
Travelling through time
Entertaining her with love
Brother and sister
Mums the word
Stretching their necks
Beaming with pride

Daily moments – April 2019
April showers
mixed with March winds
not good for flowers
poor little buds
way too scared
to show their heads
blossoms in spring
when will nature do her thing?
lets just waittil May

blowing in the wind (troiku) Daily Moments
weaving all night long
elements rip it apart
hanging by a thread
weaving all night long
bedding for her offspring
youths are worth the risk
elements rip it apart
claiming better policies
hot air in the wind
hanging by a thread
knowing what truly matters
bleeding is the heart

Soul train (troiku)
Life is a journey
Cruising on different tracks
riding your soul train
Life is a journey
Slowing down on bumpy rides
samsara
Cruising on different tracks
Fleeing from suffering
Albeit — still attached
Riding your soul train
Wrapped in mute introspection
Finding your ‘self’

Daily moments of painful contemplations April 16 2019
vulnérable (haiku)
‘til shades reappear
limbs bow with humility
bearing their old age
~~~
avant l’ombre apparaisse
leurs membres plient humblement
portant leur vieillesse

counting years (senryü)
counting every year
staring at her reflection
wondering where they’ve gone

Coming back home ~ Haibun

(c) Clr’19
Such a glorious day today and even warmer than the past few days! It almost feels like spring. The snow has melted on her front lawn and one would not even believe that it snowed all day two days ago and the lawns were all white yesterday on her way grocery shopping. She can’t wait to get out and walk to work and if she can manage to leave extra early, she might even sit in the park near her work.
Sitting in the park
Searching for buds here and there
Inhaling scents of spring
Closing her eyes she listens
First season’s concerto
Swallows have come home
Checking out the neighbourhood
A place to call home
