howling wind
on the mountainside…
so peaceful here

in the lee
of a ruined windmill…
leaf sails past
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (windmill)
calm at last —
no longer rushing
remembering
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (calm)
On night bus through heart of dead city at the moment we become light.

spring moment —
the colt and I
sense it
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (colt)
seed planting
taking it in turns
to re-arrange
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (planting)
wind chimes
no wind
still chimes
#haiku #HaikuSaturday
mulberry bush
dancing around
new issues
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (mulberry)
on the flats
drifting along above
the clouds
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (clouds)

the old tree
unseen for ages
buds in spring

glut of plums
all the jam jars full
of chutney
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (plum)
where the wisteria
begins and ends…
before and after me
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (wisteria)
mustard flowers —
time remembering
warmer days
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (mustard flower)
spring mist —
so the mountain
won’t be gone forever
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (spring mist)
patchwork quilt
stitching together
my snoozes
#haiku #senryu #SenryuSunday
spring showers
beads of light on irises
in between
#haiku #HaikuSaturday
dive in —
at the last moment
a swallow
#haiku #HaikuSaturday
these blossoms
not a patch on Tsuyama
blowing away
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (blossoms)

welcome, welcome —
letting grass take root
in the rose garden
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (grass)
sowing
in the seed drill…
one thing after another
#haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (sowing)

frolicking lambs —
tuft of fleece
on a barb

ginko walk…
one old pond
obscures another

fountain carp —
deep stirrings rise
to the surface

window seat
filling the boredom
priceless tears
