idle red wagon
forlornly standing against rust
waiting for the boy
#40 – some new to me favorites
Cherry-Blossom Time
In my old home
which I forsook, the cherries
are in bloom
Nature Note
A bush warbler comes:
all muddy are the feet he wipes
upon the blooming plums.
Issa (1762-1826) inserts humor and humanity into his haiku that I find very comforting and appealing.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I have, I found them in an ancient looking little book from the library called An Introduction to Haiku.
#39 – predators
predation above
helpless against attack
fat worms are victims

haiku recognized
started blog to free my thoughts
grateful and humbled
#37
in spite of downpour
birds converse about weather
wild orchestra

Another haiku I originally posted straight to twitter – but I just like it – so I’m posting it here
#35 – Frog series continues…
harmonized love songs
easy on the ears at night
bullfrogs pitching woo
I originally posted this solely on twitter but now I realize it is in a similar line to other frog haiku that I wrote – evidently I am thinking a lot about frogs and pitching woo 🙂
