seductive and flirting

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.

giggling children
joy etched on lips
sitting on a park bench
swallows chirp
telling stories
giggling children
skipping, running joyfully
tag you’re it
joy etched on lips
brings new life
spirit glows

the tax man (haibun)
Government agencies and financial institutions work like robots. They are like gigantic calculating machines that never see names but numbers. We are all numbers. They send mail to a deceased person even 14 months after their passing…establishments neglecting to correct records even if family members spend hours getting that done on the phone, in person and by registered mail. This time of year used to be dreaded by many who may owe money but for her, it is just dreaded to be reminded that this person is no longer here and when she gets mail, she can’t even write on the envelope “return to sender”.

chases everyone this month

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!

smaller boats trawl the waters
fish fear cunning bait

life’s uncertainties (troiku)
the end of winter
that lunar sign
spring festival
the end of winter
promises
prosperous harvests
that lunar sign
without a fear – moonlight dance,
youths bonding
spring festival
yet tragedy hits Kollam,
hear our prayers
My deepest sympathy to the people in Kollam, India.

spring’s promise (haibun) Carpe Diem + NaPoWriMo Day 9 2016
Ah the freshness of rebirth in Spring weather and she dreams of blossoms in April and Stanley Park in Vancouver.
budding promise
on the Pacific coast
cherry trees sway
Yet east of the country in Québec weather has its highs and lows…white as it may be, fluffy and unique in each detail, these snowflakes but still, SNOW is a four letter word!
green patches waiting
snow delays,
for dandelions
