Haiku For Receiving Prayer

Universe whispers
tickle ears they’re faraway
words I cannot hear

She laughs one last time
I sense she already knows
life’s good at punchlines

Haiku For Span

A dark corridor
the light divides in two banks
shade under the bridge

Haiku For Morning Bloom

Awake her fragrance
radiates there from a pulse
aside her nosegay

Haiku For Eve Celebration

Thrown rocks at wind chimes
strike up the band let loose belles
now the ball’s dropping!

Her diction oh so
particularly precise
softened in her kiss

Gardenia by night
starlight floors flying dancers
senses’ clouds mist seas

Haiku For Reaping

We weeded we found
what we’d planted had come true
our wish for seedlings

Roots rained on the ground
white birch stands poured on the ridge
both slurp moist earth soup

Damselfly hovers
flies patterns like asterisks
her prelude to rain
