westerly winds
push her across black ice
blowing in her face

Daily moments Feb 28-16~ walking home (haiku)

chilly walk alone
snow that whispers
sounds take her home

sounds take her home
silence, her red carpet
enter home alone

enter home alone
visions simmer softly
keep her company

keep her company
telling another story
pen and muse compose

Ball of courage (haiku)

[

trembling ball of fur
high up in the tree – jumps
in a leap of faith

in a leap of faith
Persian finds her courage
drops into my arms

silken petals blush (haiku)

à bout de souffle
séduite par ce doux parfum
la rose rougit

breathless
seduced by such sweet fragrance
blushing rose

Crossing the bridge, she looks over the rails and smiles. Patches of ice floating with the current.

letting it go,
over dark grey icy waters
pain floats away

Daily Moments – Feb 27/16

the encore (haibun)

Every day come spring, summer and fall, she rides the elevator to the top floor, turns the corner and climbs the stairs to the roof. The wind blows from le Mont Royale; she sits facing west, inhaling the Artist’s performance.

final vernissage
rich magenta hues at dusk
until tomorrow

rush hour ride ~ tanka

old man limps
stumbling on the train
head held high
blind to hateful glares
I marvel at his strength

Daily Moments ~ Feb 26 -16 luna plena (haibun)

Can never seem to get enough of you, oh luna plena. I look up at you and know we have a clandestine relationship, just you and me. A few days each month I see you lest the clouds hide you with greed, keeping us apart but still, I know. Every fibre in my body feels you, knows you are there near me taunting me…sometimes, our love breeds pain…my head throbs but not my heart. My heart bleeds wistfully for you.
