lovemaking
the moon casts us
in a shadow play

the sea
paints the sky
over and over

dissolving
in the ripples
my predicarment

begging bowl
the boy hungers
for love too

on the fallen tree
morning glory's
triumphant climb

this scarlet night
and the full moon
moses on mount senai

dimly lit room
the repelling
cold wind

telling son
knowledge is useless
unless he learns how to use it
blue bottle
a bee lost in
sweetness

a dance
stretching its petals
the lily

floral dance
learning it
from the lily

in a frantic span
to measure the sky
seagulls

holding up
the sky for us
roofs

rainbow
rain shows sun
its innate shine

temple bell
children more raucuous
than the chime

new outfit
the buddha
smiles

Haiku Collection

daffodils
where's the wind
to cheer us up?

early spring
the trees politely
spread their buds

blurred print
a fish swims
in my mind

criss crossing
the sky
words of men

dawn sea
waves and light
dance with breeze

dawn sea
waves, light and breeze
dance in unison

amusement park
the children doing voiceover
for the animals

merry-go-round
the child neighs for
his horse

spring of life
the nectare
the butterfly seeks

night city ruin
my goosebumps rise
like forts

amusement park
remembering late dad's
mickey mouse pose

mom's grapes
the sweetness
in her

Haiku Collection

the covered woman
longs to uncover the world
of the scantily clad

between the leaves
fate plays a game
pleasure, pain

dilapidated door
the sun yet never
misses its entrance

late into spring
bluebells still straining
to look their best

the right crispness
her bread to start
each new day

house's little corner
the presents mom taught us
to give loved ones

after the rain
droplets on leaves
our first encounter

scaling the hill with son
the pleasure to have him
hit the summit first

Haiku Collection

all this towering pride
tell me a place with no
male chauvinism

waving goodbye
to the day too
our shadows

is there anywhere
God does not show
his artistic talent?

different worlds
the world
many many worlds

in the field
a lone tree bidding goodbye
to the day

spring buds
the earth bursts forth
with fresh greetings

the bright red rose
after the rain
a collection of wet dreams

a ballet dancer's envy
fresh soft lily
swirling out of itself

lighting up winter morn
snow sprinkled
frosted berries

Haiku Collection

identity zone
each stone, each blade of grass
plucks at the heartstrings

the eyes sweeping
all the corridors
secret love

kept out of the
soccer field
a lost dream

spring morn
sakuras coax me
to dance away

myriad bells
on temple floor
ring our hearts

time
ladder
fruits of success

bondage
freedom
a mind game

solidarity
a fortress
ancient war

feelers, antenna ....
all my fanciful gadgets
thirst for love

violets sighs
"Roses are smarter
but we need fun too".

letting lose
dancing
in my own steps

the shattering rain
a consolation
after, a suicide

graces, colours
and scents
enchanting walk

hidden forces
the light, wind, earth
the world goes on

numbing my mind
the noises here since
ancient times

dewdrops on petals
his first kiss
so soft on the lips

ungrateful friends
the sand drops off as soon as
it clings to us

Haiku Collection

in the shoes'
wear and tear
my memory of papa

between the beauty of the shell
and a torn leaf
a ravaging snail

on the abandoned field
triumphant
reeds

first light
enjoying each step
to the summit

first light
tracking the way
to the summit

saffron bloom
a bee dispenses a lesson
in meditation

alone in the mountain
he calls out to let his echo
warm him up

standing in line
with the windmills
I blow towards the wind

carousal horses
children's laughters
carry me back to childhood

wild berries
sweetness on life's
crossroads

no more friendly bark
the ledge empty
my pet dog gone - forever

Cleopatra's necklace
Mark Anthony's
Heartshaped rubies

marriages are made
in the heaven
fate binds

warm opportunities
the ice melts to quench
my thirst

the tree
where we said goodbye
it has died too
