whispering guest (haiga)

© C.L.R. BFF Best Feline Friend, Bette

Who is my whispering guest?

Bette and I

gazing out my patio

geese honk

 ~

what am I today?

sluggish like a snail

feline purrs

 ~

who am I today?

roles lost in multi-tasking

leaf kissed my window

 ~

where am I today?

tranquil moments of now

cat sees the dead fly

~ 

how am I today?

quill moves with gentle

strokes

~ 

jotting lines

moments flash in autumn breeze

whispering guest

cunningly

in the cornfield

cat chased a mouse

Carpe Diem #569 Corn

survival (haiku)

makeshift tunnel

barely space for one more

ant

 

ant

claimed its space among

a colony

 

colony of ants

filled every space avoiding

the exterminator

Haiku Horizons "space"

space for daisies (haiga)

on tickling grass

cleared a space

kneels to pray

 ***

reverent space

beneath the tombstone

daisies for Nana

nothingness-néant (haiga)

Art by ShadowGirl

étoile, tache scintillante

dans l’universe

qui suis-je?

qui suis-je?

moins qu’une pensée

néant

égaré dans la voie lactée

jouissant la chance

des étoiles

~

star, shimmering fleck

in the cosmos

what am I?

what am I?

smaller than a thought

nothingness

lost in the milky way

counting my lucky

stars.

Carpe Diem Haiku Shuukan Universe #21

Nocturnal Freedom (senryû)

(senryû)

daylight

cloak and dagger, 'til

nights release her soul

 

nights release her soul

metamorphous, words spill

muse joins her soul

 

 

muse joins her soul

dictates libretti

freedom in the night.
