clay pot on green lawn
marks gnats' trysting-place above --
whirling transparence

little farm, horse trough --

Fiction

Pollen-coated glass --
One fat raindrop zigzags down
A certain pathway.

Endurance

Bronze lasts for eons
But temples age and crumble -
Long ago bell sounds

rip-roaring, tearing
seams split; fabric snaps open

Conflict

Invasion's over.
Troops crowd roads and waterways.
Loosestrife's hard to hate.

It's funny how invasive plants are more acceptable if they are beautiful.

do trees have instincts ?
each tiny bit placed just so ?
I think the air knows !

Cold filament hangs.
Clear glass imbued with sky light.

I wrote this haiku for Haiku my Heart because I've just discovered the Sufi poet Hafiz in Daniel Ladinsky's translation The Gift. Like Rumi, but more raucously ecstatic.

Excitement

Still backwater hums.
Stale bread tumbles from my hand:
Plop ! Boiling with koi !

Somewhere a double --
This poem's twin's been written.
But not this ending.

Fiber, wire, tin, wood;
The flesh and sides of old toys.
Reliquaries all.

Haiku Heights prompt: Childhood

pas de deux

Sky dance whirls along;
Two orbs span the blue twilight.
Who's calling the tune?

I've been standing on my porch watching the beautiful conjunction of Venus and Jupiter nearly every evening after sunset. They are only a few fingertips apart in the sky now. They look just like the diagram in the newspaper.

Covered

Bleak soil like Grape Nuts;
Freeze dried nothingness awaits.
Lush green spears crowd through.

One Single Impression: Underground

sublevel

monks await sickness
shining carbon chains glisten
nature sees the mind

Opposition

Mars glints blearily,
Each wintry ray's tightly bound.
Too many watchers.
