haiku 1
1.
an infant, midnight
cries out, gloriously
tender urgency
2.
he picks up anger
to bed, a bitter sweet heart
to cuddle with
3.
a slim moon, new
drops her ancient garment
bright mystery rises
4.
lying perfect still
a flood of muted sounds
deafening my ear
5.
what am I doing
a bird stands on a lamp post
asking the star
6.
the sun rises
an unchanging prophecy
with certainty
7.
with its wings
thousand vibrations
a bird drums
8.
silent night frost
cooling winter pines
a colder thought
9.
radiant waves
travel through nightly air
stars appear
10.
close the blinds
darkness thick as blanket
securely sheltered
11.
a crow crows
suddenly darkness breaks into
a million pieces
12.
on the podium
baton dances up and down
beat the sounds
13.
the hugeness of thoughts
bursts through its tight seams
a drop of sigh
14.
pleasure demands
a labor of willingness from the heart
that lawless agent
15.
brows slowly knitted
into heavy thoughtfulness
a weighty look
16.
lemon tree laden
abundance of yellow gratitude
seasonal sunshine
17.
soft surrender
sunlight to dusky withdrawal
folding the evening
18.
a bee circling
a girl's presence on rose petals
after she smells it
19.
your innocence
in its nightly loud snore
irresistible
20.
in sun's open arms
the cat lies sweet and quiet
entertains no thoughts
21.
writing haiku
the Japanese English poem
thinking in Chinese
22.
frost gathers
all the last night dreams
in its white embrace
23.
the marching night
has chased daylight out of
a cat's eyes
24.
anguish of spring
bursts open all the buds of their
wintry impatience
25.
blooming pleasure
a rose petal brushes a breeze
losing her head
26.
a garden feast
all the birds and worms
come uninvited
27.
rest in love, clouds
lazily stretch in the sky
to east, and to west
28.
grapes on the vines
purple delights hanging heavy
waiting for the church bell
29.
innocent desires
in the gaze of a full moon
who will fall for it?
30.
a pure moment
weeping willow's shadow in the pond
washes her hair
31.
an empty quiet house
ghosts of poetic persuasion
brewing haiku tea
32.
an old blue plate
a fresh bunch of grapes rest
in regal purple
33.
a little ant running
dedicated to its aims
unknown to me
34.
the mouse escaped
after the trap snipped in vain
god bless it
35.
water pot whistles
a happy hissing enterprise
tea leaves paralyzed
36.
solid fresh onion
a daughter of the lily family
sisterhood of pungency
37.
lost in sleep
his heart wanders around
looking for a pillow
38.
peanut butter jar
being invaded every midnight
too creamy to yell
39.
sunlight screams
into dark corners of shadows
hardly audible
40.
no longer remember
silence is bald and tired
lost its voice

You Are Amazing. Stung by a bee, only to remember her sent.
