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

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

A Trio of Haiku and Senryu
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
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.

Dust of Snow
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
Psalm 148:7-8, King James Version
Is it your singing
that I find so fulfilling,
stormy dust of snow?
