wind



Already eaten 
The summer clouds-
What now Autumn wind?

dark



With no summer moon
And the house guests all gone-
My dark home!

horses



Heads or tails
Each day in the summer field
The same white horses.

rest


After summer's labor
Take a rest
Fallow fields!

hoot


Just last night
Did the owl give a hoot
After long absence.

move


Just who tells which ant
To move what
And where?

frost


First frost-
The dry lavender fields
Dreaming of it.

casket


Open casket-
The moth curled up for death
In a tea spoon.

tea


Asleep in tea spoon
A golden moth- 
Autumn morning.

home


Selling my home-
Already missing 
The fig tree.

Wanting to hide
But wanting to tell the truth
In a small haiku.

birdbath


Morning birdbath-
Splashing water
Shaking dreams.

Late summer sky
Melting
Popsicle moon.

Wild


Morning fig tree-
Wild boars,
A whole family.

swallows




Skylight window-
Trapped flies,
The swallows above.

16 August 2011

knives



Crickets tonight-
Slicing dusk-
Tiny knives.

book


With a book-
In bed with the crickets
And the stars.


14 August 2011

skin


Acacia leaves-
Autumn tint, reminding me
To call skin doctor.



smoke



Grilled sardines-
A full moon rising
Through thick smoke.

town


That child's whimper
Even louder 
Than town traffic.



11 August 2011

bowl



Exploding silence-
An old friend 
Breaking my tea bowl.



10 August 2011

naked



Summer love-
Midnight moths try to screw 
A naked bulb.



09 August 2011

books


In such a large bed!
And just me
With so many books.

square


Almost square
It seems-
Summer moon.

past


Cycling past a house
Where a friend died-
Twilight falling.

snapped


House intrusion-
A trapped cricket 
Snaps evening silence.

scurry



Hail storm-
Watching ants
Hurry scurry

Dusk



Dusk moon-
When is it
Not proud?

girl


Just at twilight-
The white teeth
Of a young girl.

trapped


I'd help you out
Bumble bee
But I'm trapped too.



01 August 2011

laundry


My laundry
Perturbing ants
On the clothesline.
