mountain almonds blooming
white like snow
her autumn kimono
still wet with secrets

Hallow's eve
The weight of darkness, waiting for the stars to fall, smells of soil. Old oak-trees, skeletal, brush against my sweaty face; their twigs are claws; laced with hunger. An owl hoots with desperation of an empty kiln. Suddenly awake, the bats leave the belfry, their eyes a-glow. Silence between my heartbeats diminishes as fog from rotting bogs, but still I hear his footsteps, confidently striding, crushing gravel.
shooting stars
dissipate my fantasy —
hallow’s eve-----------

Jisei - a crocus
always uphill -
pilgrim's broken cart
lies discarded
but in meadow grass
a blooming crocus

Carpe Diem Tan Renga - Sumitaku Kenshin's out of the washbowl
Out of the washbowl
I scoop up,
my distorted face (Sumitaki Kenshen)
remembering the silence
of your moonless sleep

Choka - Thunderstom
rippled cumulus
the sky's an anguished brow
sentences afloat
raindrops falling from her lips
as arbor arms waves
in sudden gust of syllables
the flowers shudder
for yet unopened letter
thunderbolt to strike
a raven seeks her shelter
softness of your hand
turned granite from what's done
kisses of deceit
your skirt was raised by a wind
by his hands of thunderstorms

Carpe Diem - unwilling carpenter
moonrise
holding their hands on their knees
evening at a house
listening to hungry bed-bugs
calling from the old duvet
moaning walls
death of the last embers
hunger pangs
painting virgin snow
footprints cross the yard
lonely mother
searching in the straw
for what can't be found
unwilling - she's a carpenter
with yet another coffin made
frozen soil
spring will soon be met
in threnodies
sickness of a dying moon
she hails its sickle face

Carpe Diem Tan Renga "Ancient woman"
the ancient woman
cherry tree blooms at old age
an event to remember (Basho)
before you shed the tears
for her falling petals (Me)

Carpe Diem Haiku - wisdom
rusty weather-vane
forever pointing North -
a wise man's folly

Carpe Diem Special #134, Fuyuko Tomita's "actors we all are, she said "
This wonderful tanka by Fuyuko Tomita:
Actors we all are, she said
mirrors to reflect
each other
We all leave the stage, she said
and left a smile in mine
Inspired in me, thinking of an echo like the mirror of sound
Actors we all are, she said
mirrors to reflect
each other
We all leave the stage, she said
and left a smile in mine
Inspired in me, thinking of an echo like the mirror of sound
Her laughter
dances to the echo
of my heart

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai - Venice
breaking dawn -
with heartbeats of Laguna
tugboats leave
It's been a while, and I thought I would make an effort again from my blogspot site.
