3 Haiku, 1 Tanka and 1 Haibun
silver moon
the sky's burden easing
with each raindrop
bell chime
a maple leaf tumbles
into awareness
rusted weathervane
the orphan's dream
all but lost
sunlight pours
through the window
and her flaxen hair
indifferent to the heat
building inside me
Tropical Depression
Oh, how nature abhors a vacuum. So eager to fill spring and summer with luxuriant life, then the insatiable need to purify through death. A cycle seeming very natural until wintry fangs penetrate naïve necks. Bare the flesh again next year and tell yourself how “this time will be different.”
gentle rain
becoming aware of
hidden storms
