Haiku Collections

late grandmom's favourite
bowl now carries her stories
for my children

all these neons
a million shadows
accompany my loneliness

the energies
of the year pour forth
in step to the summer heat

pet horse
the swish of its hair
eggs me on

in my garden
all my plants
fighting for attention

after his
departure
the room so empty

my heart caught
by the leaps of waves
and children on jungle gym

our seats
in the garden
so vacant without you

a stroll by
the bamboo grove
a lesson in walking tall

bathed in
autumn dusk
shadowed by giant cypresses

Haiku Collection

art
the real and imagined
seeks each others out

beauty in the eyes of beholder
crawlies join their
own kinds

special liking
in the empty chapel
the whispers of prayers

a monster fungus
a jungle walk
made unforgettable

bright and gay
summer's heat fuels
our dance beats

bright spring
my koi fish
kisses the sky

Haiku Collection

art speaks
through our
eyes

the consolation
after the typhoon
rainbows

our childhood tryst
- the little boat
still there

sleepless night
my tired face
needs a coverup

Haiku Collection

two berries
so close to each other
lovers

the zig zag lines
the mind works patterns
into a pattern

abandon house
eerie echo accompanies
every of my words

gracefully giving
the wood its other face
carved crane

being who
we are for your sake
no strings attached

in my own world
putting a part of the world
onto a canvas

Haiku Collection

time
in a hurry to own zero thought
it eats up every cell, vein

light green cherries
fight with leaves
- for attention

always betraying it
- shell of
the snail

gently uncovering
his sweetness
the carress

our physique
so close there are parts
we wont ever see

Haiku collection

Swan Song
they wait for turn
to strut their stuff

autumn
at the gate
a rustling yellow carpet

white plum blossom
the leaves make exit
to showcase its radiance

riveting like his moustache
his jazz inches
everywhere

spring blazing bloom
the scarecrows too
have come alive

elixir of life
the bee bends over
with no reservation

tea leaves
in the cup
an autumn lake

our morning walk
the clouds change its costume
from white to grey

autumn leaves
butterflies flit
in the winds

A Collection of Haikus

chinese new year
a spread of red in
the sitting room

spring mountains
ballet dancer
and spiralling lace

snow
on my finger
water

dusk dance
shadows in
the light

stillness
a seat in the blankness
of the mind

my skin and mother earth
there are patches
we wont want to show
