Tonight’s #NaPoWriMo #haiku

poetry, prose, and photography


approaching a pond
delighting in the frogsong
Basho’s memory
Walking in my neighborhood, there are a few ponds. Tonight I noticed the frogsong…for the first time this spring. I doubt the frogs have been silent until tonight. Probably just the first night I was out late enough.

rain speckled petals
grey motion above the trees
the colors of spring

with the clock’s motion
moonlight hidden by the trees
quiet memories

under the sunlight
the seduction of flowers
bees singing their song
sunlight through this glass
floating across the pages
a crow laughing

Tonight’s Haiku:
the grace of sunlight
treading lightly over waves
robin glancing down

I sit upon wheels
this motion through the daylight
robins cheer me on

moving through darkness
still hints of dusk through the trees
birds dreaming of dawn
Check out this lovely poem by my friend Amy.
i fall into
an endless pit
never knowing
where the bottom is
what i do know
is one day soon
i will sprout wings
and begin to fly
