Autumn Wrinkles: A Haiku Sequence  ☊

calm twilight
a blossom circling
in its fall
 
on the lake wrinkled face of wind
 
inside and outside of me autumn wrinkles
 
autumn waterfall listening deep to my inner voice
 
all the journeys 
i shouldn't have taken –

sunken boat
​

Overspill: A Tanka Sequence ☊

with my child
on my shoulder, i walk
in the long rain
carrying the heaviness
of shattered dreams

how long
can a robin hold its song
in autumn
my late father's words
stirring my soul

how much rain
can a little cloud hold
the overspill
of resentment
her only identity


          ❊

Pink Blossom: A Tanka Sequence  ☊

dawn
on the horizon ...
the flight 
of the first pied hornbill
carrying its call

a birdbath
full of migrated birds …
at the resort 
the wind carrying 
a child’s song

february sky
an oriole 
on the pink blossom
I watch 
the birder in me
​

Spring Again: A Haiku Sequence  ☊

spring drizzle
the bipinnate leaves
fold into shyness

rain 
of cherry blossoms--
remaining spring

waters of spring
father backstrokes
into healthiness

lake sunrise
a duckling sets off
downstream

​rice fields ... 
bent woman reaping
gossip


​spring’s end

my infant fingers 
the fallen petal


spring dream
a rooster stirs the stillness
into dawn

​
the crows
are vanishing
at twilight
my child stretches
the end of play


across the border
everything feels fresh
except 
this loneliness in me ...
being without you


holding on 
with what she left behind  
winter moon 




​                   ❊

​first light
last night's rain
cupped in a mushroom


a monarch flutters

against the train window
i set it free
from my fingertips
and wing along with it


​night blossoms 
the elders swing dance
in the neighborhood


distant hill
a river carrying
the spring


paddy field
the stream carrying
clouds 


autumn sky
patches of twilight
in the falling leaf
