Daily Moments Jan 26 2016 – mother’s love (troiku)

snowflakes
tender bits
heaven’s grace

snowflakes
taste of winter
on my tongue

tender bits
silken petals
of cherry blossoms

heaven’s grace
showering her love,
mother nature

Daily Moments – Jan 25 2015 chasing stars (haibun)



Walking home last night she slowed her pace to enjoy watching snowflakes falling softly.  She had missed the full moon the night before and knew it would still be quite full unless it was hidden by those snow clouds. 

full moon chasing stars
snowflake brushed her cheek
behind swirly clouds

She looked beside her on the bench beside where her feline friend was falling asleep all comfy in her bed.  Just as she raised her phone to show off her friend, it was as if she had antennae…

respect is key
feline courtesy when asleep,
do not disturb!

She resumed her reading and glanced now and then, envious of her little friend who had drifted back so easily to another world…
