absorbed in fallen leaves

Morning Breeze
morning breeze
coming in the window
surf sounds (C) Jane Reichhold
invading sleep natures alarm
salty cleansing breath starts new day

Tan Renga: Wisteria
Photo taken on 9th St., in Park Slope
wisteria sways –
pendulous blossoms in breeze
unspoken promise (Pat R)
perfume ignites memories
the heady scent of passion

A Flash of Lightning
inazuma ya yami no kata yuku goi no koe
a flash of lightning—
passing through the darkness
a night heron’s scream
© Basho (1644-1694)
a mighty sword scribbling
secrets across the night sky

Tan Renga: Single Frosty Rose
A new year begins
With the blooming
Of a single frosty rose (Mizuhara )
at twilight water beads form
each one with its own story…
For Carpe Diem Haiku
Tan Renga: A Still Water
such a still water
even the dragonfly
splash it with the tail

sending ripples through the clouds
that are peering up at me

Tan Renga: Silence
silence
in the blind wind’s dance
blossoms (Jane Reichhold)
scurry along the ground’s surface
caught in a wave of leaves

Tan Renga: Sacred Grove
the shrine
in the sacred grove:
a cool wind blows
© Chora
the smoke from incense whirl
stirring of the gathering
the shrine
in the sacred grove:
a cool wind blows
© Chora
the crows come calling
the leaves are all atwitter
the shrine
in the sacred grove:
a cool wind blows
© Chora
then comes cry of an eagle
above the sound of the leaves
