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
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

While walking this evening for exercise and mental clarity, I came across these blossoms.
sunsets through the trees
gently, the birdsong ending
a heron in flight

hearts sing in sunlight
glorious cherry blossoms
dancing hummingbirds
