Swimming in Lines of Haiku (I Quote, You 'Ku)

I tried my best to participate so here are a few tanka for Kirsten Cliff's quote for the day.


plucking a petal
from a budding rose . . .
I cannot help
wanting him more
too early

a bluejay drinks again
from an empty birdbath...
I open your closet
one more time to make sure
I remember missing you

all the beads
we used to string together
for someone else . . .
every minutes counts
in the shades of sunset

dishes still

piled up in the sink . . .

I now have

more time in my hands

to miss you

after brain surgery
will he remember
how much he loves me . . .
the first thing he asks for
are ice chips
