Nostalgia – haibun

Afternoon – haiga

Conversations that

simmer into silence in

an afternoon glow.

NaPoWriMo – 1 – Light

April is National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo). The intention is to write a poem each day for the whole month.

Light – haiga

Flower fall – tanka

.

~~~
curt, sharp-edged light
fells blooms from trees gathering
in an orphaned arc

soughing into pregnant grass
rosy tales of birth and death

A pinprick of light – haiku

…

A pinprick of light

Among the hills. A haven

Or a dire warning?

 ~~~

Pinpricks of light

In the night sky. Divine souls

Or indifferent stars?

2AM – haiga

For the dVerse prompt ‘2AM’ 

 

 

All night rain falls

in the hills
an owl calls out for a mate
all night rain falls

~~~

sleep sprites unreel
dream movies on closed eyelids
all night rain falls

~~~

I wake from this dream
into a dream more real
all night rain falls

the moon is an orange
the sound of rain a warning

~~~

Stars – haiga

On the rocks

Today is Earth Day.

Hope the Earth is happy with the way we are treating it.
