nests (a chaffinch)

nests woven
with moss twigs and leaves
springtime

recession (senyru)

the fabric of life
stitched with another patch
recession

Tanka to the prompt of a painting

at the touch
of his flute
a mystery unfolds
his paintings come alive
for all who dare to enter

NahaiWriMo prompt # moon

spring moon
the last photo of her
amid bluebells

NaHaiWriMo prompts

#9 pain

shadows
at the graveside
the thorns of roses

cane senyru

her old cane
leans by the back door
once an oak tree

plum haiku

plum jam
spring blooms still
in winter

winking star

waxing moon
searching for you
a star winks at me

aging senyru

aging
the font on my laptop
bigger

sheep haiku

sleet day
sheep circle
naked branches
