Daily Moments – July 15/16 ~afternoon haze (troiku)

furit rests under the haze

fruit of a tree rests
even when heat mists over
cicadas sing

fruit of a tree rests
under the mist
heatwave

even when heat mists over
bullfrog
catches the fly

cicadas sing
afternoon lullaby
the old man snores

Daily Moments July 7 2017 Heatwave (Troibun)

Her head is a bit foggy theses days with the  heatwave this week.  No matter how many hours of sleep, it still never seems to be enough. She thinks about her neighbours upstairs and wonders if they are finally resting after a month of fasting…Ramada is over, they too need to catch up on sleep.

heatwave
humid dense air
heavy breathing

heatwave
children squealing
splashing water

humid heavy air
piercing through
cicadas songs

heavy breathing
coolness of the night breeze
lovers play

Labour Day weekend and  unusual heat hangs on the Northern hemisphere. She sits on the shore watching the swans, geese and ducks play hide in seek…searching for shade.

summer heat (tanka)

softly gasps
wind whistles softly
her nakedness
through the screen door
curve of the moon
