pieces of my life
on bits of paper mingle
with the coins
in my pocket – the poem
continues to elude me

Autumn
in trees, suttle signs
as autumn rounds the corner
more visible sky

And, coincidentally:) for Frank Tassone Haikai Challenge – referencing Autumn
Fog & Change
poking through the fog
an impressionist painting
without the fanfare
scenes shift, change and come alive
feeds my imagination

Change & Beauty
changes on branches
the start of tender new buds
in this harsh winter
whispers of spring, though distant
hints of beauty born of hope

Time & Laughter
Photo : A park near me.
fallen leaves are brown
bare branches now face deep frost
how time has moved on
through weary bones, but laughter
tends my soul holding time still

Host’s attempt:
on the porch
a moment of silence
the sound of rain

End of the Month
We are on the trail with Basho
end of the month
no moon hugging an ancient cedar
in the storm

A translation:
moonless night . . .
a powerful wind embraces
the ancient cedars

OUR HOST:
I bow my head
in worship of the holy sunrise
at Ise Shrine

From these I got a sense change and loss.
MY EFFORT:
blooms double in size
spring eases close to summer

Prickly
PRICKLY
Dragged out by the feet
Kicking and screaming
That’s how he came into this world
He has lived life like that ever since
Contentious, rambunctious, a ‘my way
is the only way outlook”
Age and lessons learned had little impact
He was who he was
There was no changing this
