Haiku of the Day ~ Autumn days grow short

   
Autumn days grow short;
    I cross the river Uji,
        under a grey sky.
     
    

Tanka of the Day ~ This old coat of mine

    
This old coat of mine
    smelling of stale cigarettes
        with its torn pocket
    a reminder of my youth
        and many forgotten sins.

(Incomplete) Tank of the Day ~ Unable to sleep

    
Unable to sleep
    I listen throughout the night
        to the silent song
            of falling snow in my yard.
     
    With the soft dawn ... 

                             

(Sometime before 2010)

Haiku of the Day ~ The squirrels in my head

     
The squirrels in my head;
         running and jumping around.
    "What was I doing?"

Haiku of the Day ~ The silent voices

   
The silent voices
    and echoing memories
        of those who have left.

Haiku of the Day ~ Sakura

   
Sakura
    falling in the breeze,
        life goes on.

Haiku of the Day ~ Over the mountains

    
Over the mountains
   white thunder clouds are forming:
        sultry siesta. 
    
    

Haiku of the Day ~ Listen to

    

Listen to 

    naught but emptiness

        and silence.

Haiku of the Day ~ Smoke and morning clouds,

    
Smoke and morning clouds, 
     the smell of burning mesquite;
           the hills are ablaze.
