Atoms of Haiku

    14 of my haiku are appearing in this collection. Thank you to the AU team!

a tinge of pink

on a widow's cheeks . . .

cherry blossom buds

***

 

silence between us

braiding the moonlight . . .

last evening walk

 

***
 

winter wind

I tighten my scarf

with his memory

***

 

the whip

of the winter chill—

recurrent cancer

***
 

winter gales

the first few nights

without him

***

 

butterscotch sun

his voice slides into

my bedroom door

***
 

summer afternoon

I let the clouds weave me

another dream

***
 

spring rain

a cypress tree

begins to twinkle

***
 

winter night

a howling dog

brings out the moon

***

 

summer night

warming his hands

on the piano keys

***

 

mimosa blooms

butterfly wings draped

with fragrance

***

milkweed seeds . . .

how the wind catches

me and my dreams

***
 

wine moon . . .

drowning myself

with lies

***
 

broken pot

what marigolds

in full bloom

1st International Kukai - 6th place

opening my window

I catch a song

of a sparrow

 

1st International Kukai

Prompt: sparrow

opening my window

I catch a song 

of a sparrow . . .

if only my words could

fill such fragrance

Finally, my very first collaborative tanka with Kathy Uyen Nguyen. :-)

Orange Leaves

orange leaves

the fragrance

of pumpkin pie
