young lovers
nestled in the grassland
a meadowlark sings
a meadowlark sings
listening with their hearts,
nature’s serenade

sound of rain (senryu)
the sound of rain
baby’s
bedtime lullaby
~
the sound of rain
a thousand feet
tap dancing
~
the sound of rain
tat tat tat
on a metal roof
~
the sound of rain
tapping on the window
a cat yawns
~
the sound of rain
angels in heaven
applauding

after the snow storm (troiku) Daily moments Feb 13/17
Snow banks
adourning boulevards
after the snowstorm
snow banks
stretching to eternity
one giant wall
adourned boulevards
clean cut lines
understated chic
after the snowstorm
same redundant deep roar
all day long

Daily moments February 12 2017
Hope mixed with despair
from my bedroom window
dreams beneath the snow
hope mixed with despair
buried under heavy layers
winter laughs at me
from my bedroom window
lull of rumbling snow ploughs
drifting off to sleep
dreams beneath the snow
fleeting thoughts of blossoms
tulips pierce the snow

Rage (Six Word Story Challenge ~ Troiku)
I usually post six word story challenges on my other blog but it also inspired a haiku poem, so here it is.
The prompt at Six word Story is RAGE. I’ve written a sentence telling a story that ten inspired a Troiku, which is a new form of Haiku created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.
RAGE
Pray for nations whose leaders rage!
(Troiku)
good leaders listen
pulse of a nation
sifting thru filters
good leaders listen
people speak openly
together they build
pulse of a nation
erratic can turn to calm
sign of good counsel
sifting thru filters
taking down walls that block
communication

butterfly moment (troiku – haiga)
(troiku)
sometimes I wish
I was a butterfly
one brief moment
sometimes I wish
one heartfelt scene
and, time would stop
I was a butterfly
one sweet moment
forever prised
one brief moment
bliss
seals the heart

wish I could vanish
while migraine tiptoes away
thumps above my head
thumps above my head
children
know not better
when storms abate
inside my head
embracing moments
embracing moments
hearts beating
my friend and I
