in response
to her question,
the doctor smiles

#haiku

cat and I trying
to find a comfortable
spot together

#haiku

I want to shout
I’m not gone yet,
but my voice cracks

#haiku

little fingers
carefully place asteroids
on colored eggs

#haiku

bright yellow flashes
to and from the feeder—
just before they leave

#haiku

hard to delegate
even to folks better
than I ever was

#haiku

spring thaw—
here and there
tattered mittens

#haiku

one less of us together—
speaking her name
feeling her smile

#haiku

afterwards
the ceiling fan
turns and turns

#haiku

équinoxe de printemps
sur mes lunettes
des grains de pollen

#haïku
#senryū

forty-nine years—
anniversary card
is still romantic

#haiku

no sand below—
standing in the swing—
what if I let go?
#haiku

#haiku
in bloom
stump of the tree
that never bloomed

❤️this image!

early to bed;
in truth it’s late, or will be come morning.

#haiku

old cat asleep
on my lap—
we wait

#haiku

after the storm—
only slow drips
from the eaves now

#haiku

in de berm
padvinders op de knieën —
de paddentrek

#haiku

You obviously struck a chord that resonates for others with this delightful #haiga . The photo and haiku work well together. ❤️ the image and sound of your last line. A gem 😀

thunder—
each peel rolls
into the next

#haiku

I will close my eyes,
Trail my fingers ‘long the spines
Choosing the next read
#DailyHaiku #haiku #Saturday

sitting in traffic—
through the sunroof
underbellies of geese

#haiku #haikusaturday

Interesting frame for the colorful bud; it seems to contain or shelter the bud.

through the haze
can’t tell which trees
are still naked

#haiku #poem #spring

my former morning
routine—now a
whole day’s work

#HaikuTip Have you been using the Translate feature hidden in the line of dots in each post? You may discover that many fine poets are writing in languages you don’t speak.

Sometimes I find I prefer a different word choice, but the translation gets me close enough to understand the meaning.

I like what Katharyn Daniel texted me on her way to teach this morning:

Moment caught in ink
Universally tethered
Haiku shared through time

#haiku

#haiku
nudging
the daffodil stalks
crocus shoots

❤️

perché dans l'arbre
un drôle d'oiseau
miaule pour descendre
