Daily moments Feb 28-16~ walking home (haiku)

• 

  chilly walk alone
  snow that whispers
  sounds take her home

  sounds take her home
  silence, her red carpet
  enter home alone

  enter home alone
  visions simmer softly
  keep her company

  keep her company
  telling another story
  pen and muse compose

Ball of courage (haiku)

trembling ball of fur
high up in the tree – jumps
in a leap of faith

in a leap of faith
Persian finds her courage
drops into my arms

à bout de souffle
séduite par ce doux parfum
la rose rougit

breathless
seduced by such sweet fragrance
blushing rose

Daily Moments ~ Feb 27’16 ~relief (haibun)

Crossing the bridge, she looks over the rails and smiles. Patches of ice floating with the current.

letting it go,
over dark grey icy waters
pain floats away

the encore (haibun)

Every day come spring, summer and fall, she rides the elevator to the top floor, turns the corner and climbs the stairs to the roof.  The wind blows from le Mont Royale; she sits facing west, inhaling the Artist’s performance.

old man limps
stumbling on the train
head held high
blind to hateful glares
I marvel at his strength

Daily Moments ~ Feb 26 -16 luna plena (haibun)

Can never seem to get enough of you, oh luna plena. I look up at you and know we have a clandestine relationship, just you and me. A few days each month I see you lest the clouds hide you with greed, keeping us apart but still, I know. Every fibre in my body feels you, knows you are there near me taunting me…sometimes, our love breeds pain…my head throbs but not my heart. My heart bleeds wistfully for you.

beseeched
glint of charisma
holds me prey

the preacher’s daughter (haibun)

The preacher and his wife, had been married fifteen years. Time had become their enemy until finally they were blessed with their first and only child. They were so grateful they named their cherubic daughter, Grace. She was a kind and docile child who sang like a bird. As young as four, she would sit in the garden in their backyard chanting. Sunflowers and daisies had become her audience along with stray cats, squirrels, birds and even insects.
