To greet Sky Maiden,
I need not stretch on tiptoe,
for she bends to me.

Is it possible
a shadowed road can lead us
toward the healing light?

Up pop the pages,
silhouettes of running slaves—
freedom’s just ahead.

A Trio of Haiku and Senryu

original
 

One fragile bubble
burning in circles of light—
there will be weeping.
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
Come, watch him lumber
through the streets and alleyways,
mumbling bitter words.
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
Twenty-two rivers
unleashed in April would wreck
the Cities of Gold.

Haiku

original
 

Spring, wreck winter’s work.
Brown bear, lumber from your den
when streams bubble fresh.

Thanks to J.M.Mendur for his haiku, “A Quiet Disruption,” with which I have taken great liberties.

that the dead have the last laugh?
The hint of a smile…

Fencepost silhouette
pressed against the western sky,
stars will cling to you.

Dust of Snow

Photobucket
 

Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
 
Psalm 148:7-8, King James Version
 

Is it your singing
that I find so fulfilling,
stormy dust of snow?
