Beach
Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, Mexico
Yosa Buson’s haiku about a broom and a beach inspires me to write a new haiku:
The short night—
a broom thrown away
on the beach.
~~ ~~ ~~
a tree for her broom
old woman sweeping the beach
just before nightfall
~~ ~~ ~~
Imagine a broom tidying the beach.

Blossoming
Moonrise at Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, Southern California
Yosa Buson’s haiku about pear blossoms and moonlight inspires me to write a new haiku:
White blossoms of the pear
and a woman in moonlight
reading a letter.
~~ ~~ ~~
the moon blossoming
just enough for a woman
to write love letters

Fireflies
Spring sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
one more small wonder
the light from all those fireflies
blotting out the sun

Cleft
The Citadel, Wupatki National Monument, Northern Arizona
The cleft affords a grand view.
high country morning—
through a cleft in the stone wall
the scent of campfires
