#498- famous haiku- Basho, Buson, Issa

in the sea-surf edge

mingling with bright small shells

bush-clover petals

~Basho

my two plum trees are

so gracious…see, they flower

one now, one later

~Buson

in city fields

contemplating cherry trees

strangers are like friends

~Issa

#454 – doubting

doubting the waves reach

snatching sea glass from the surf

water soaks my shoe

boats in the harbor

railing against their moorings

vicious  storm descends

#428 – guide

slowly brightening

clear skies guide gray rain clouds south

out over the sound

#424 – outcome

polar bears drowning

outcome of global warming

too late to stop now?

#419- gradual

tide ebbing slowly

ocean’s gradual release

freeing rocks and sand

battling the rough waves

boat finds a breach farther out

to open ocean

#357 – empty

empty windswept beach

too cold even for the birds

sand, water and me

#338 – hovering

hovering above

seagull scans sea floor for crabs

riding air currents
