tasting the night air
tender curve of a snail’s horn
this little white moon

the perfect apple
in my hand
the urge to throw it

bus doors open
i brush petals
from my sleeve

runoff ditch filled with
last nights rain and a can of
Colt forty-five

all the hidden rivers
in my hands of rain

#dailyhaikuprompt #calm

waiting for spring
under the bridge
a calm current flows

calm seas —
a cormorant’s cry
farther away

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #calm #lonely

maybe the music
will find a way to keep going
on a lonely path in the park
when a musician stops playing
a bird starts singing

間立つ
灰色の海
波立たぬ

Hai iro no umi

The gray sea
That stands between us
Has no waves

the sight the scent
the promise of summer -
hawthorn blossom

Cranes lower, trees into place; evergreens meeting, the ground fully formed.

The subway, will soon be open; and the upturned dirt, grass-veneered into park.

I ponder, which will outlast the other; the station below, or its green front?

in my lifetime
earthshine has grown brighter
-- the cat's still hungry

airport radar—
a gull
between sweeps
#haiku #poetry

#poem

grounded
at the airport
we watch a gull
take off

#poem

no one coming
the sound of the gate
swinging back and forth
during the autumn storm

chords between feathers
angels of the longer days
translate light to song

Decay is not defeat but
prayer made green and
patient in the earth,

and age,
in moss and silence dressed,
leans back without a word.

everyone fell asleep
screams break into blossom

--Shinko Tokizane

みんな眠った　絶叫の花ひらく　時実新子

Ah, now I have a story about Lantern Men in this anthology that I'm still proud of. They are turbo-charged by climate change in a future deluged East Anglia.

lost and found—
I wrap presents
in old road maps

I Confess - Allison Luterman I stalked her in the grocery store: her crown of snowy braids held in place by a great silver clip, her erect bearing, radiating tenderness, watching the way she placed yogurt and avocados in her basket, beaming peace like the North Star. I wanted to ask, "What aisle did you find your serenity in, do you know how to be married for fifty years or how to live alone, excuse me for interrupting, but you seem to possess some knowledge that makes the earth turn and burn on its axis-" But we don't request such things from strangers nowadays. So I said, "I love your hair."

into the ground
seeds, shovel, hope, the promise
of weeding and sun

butterfly garden
the laughter finds
its own wings

The photo shows three birds on a roof silhouetted against a dusky sky. The poem reads: stilled canvas attracts/ three aficionados:/ eventide viewing

Telemachus' Detachment When I was a child looking at my parents' lives, you know what I thought? I thought heartbreaking. Now I think heartbreaking, but also insane. Also very funny.
