tanka:
waking up
to the harsh noise
of leaf blower
i'm even more grateful
for birdsong
***
holding back emotions
all day long
she tears up in backyard
in front of
Sentimental Blue
***
pink peony...
pink perfection camellia
if you do not love
my chaotic
you don't deserve my neat
***
beautyberries in the garden
i laugh along with
American robins
cherishing...
their purple chuckle songs
***
ginkgo tree
loses
all the golden leaves
at the same time
i hold on to my hope
***
i used to be sad
not to belong
but now i know
not belonging
is sheer freedom
***
cormorants migrate
to warmer places
i
to their turquoise
eyes
***
drone’s view
of a herd
as if horse-shaped shadows
are standing
on brown dashed lines
***
how come angelic souls
reside
on veiled Venus
when they adore...
stargazing?
***
dolphins get high
on a pufferfish
in a game of catch
do they even know
what bullying is?
***
child
(s)wirls around
mom's feet
at the sight of
huge soft (s)erve
haiku/senryu:
gigantic leaf pile
i fall
for fall
***
improvising color combos lantanas
***
ringing in my ears bluebells' silence
***
mercury retrograde
internet problem
in the Hermes shop
***
she collects buttons
to create...
a flower meadow
***
a stardust howling at the stars (i)
***
tasting like orange oriole's song
***
a flock of angry birds visit me greenfinches
***
fluffing out their tutus fuchsias
***
full of life cut-throat finch
***
bright green
the love language
of great egrets
***
wood pigeon
in yoga tree pose
end of shivers
***
fighting to win
sunflower hearts
titmice
***
antique hydrangea...
bridal bouquet
for a new life
***
shinrinyoku
i follow
a pink forester
***
making a nest
on car wipers
laughing doves
***
innocence
in a vase
baby's breath
***
striped zebra mom
spotted zebra foal
wabi-sabi
***
pulling off...
turquoise lipstick
black-and-red broadbill
***
twinkling blue stars in ink... jewel damselfish
