diamonds
in her hair

tethered to a tree
reincarnation

diner coffee
grandma’s house
in a cup

detour you slip your hand in mine

rustling leaves
walnut shells play
hide and seek

 

Stardust Haiku – June 2017 Issue

stolen kisses
under the wisteria tree
our crown jewels

 

dried figs
the last time
you held me

 

trail of wildflowers
her barrette
abandoned

 

muddy footprints
new ways
of thinking

 

Under the Basho – 2017 Issue

caressing her hair
I sing a lullaby
she won’t remember

 

dementia
our family tree
collects dust

Venus de Milo
did you ever dream
of solitude?

 

via Daily Prompt: Paragon

balloons pop
behind the fair booth
young lovers jump

 

via Daily Prompt: Puncture

covered in cobwebs
tapered candles
at the altar

 

via Daily Prompt: Taper

year after year
the silent blossoming
of roses

 

via Daily Prompt: Volume

above the horizon
birdsong waits
for an open window

sopra l’orizzonte
il canto degli uccelli aspetta
una finestra aperta

a new generation
on the playground
my daughter pushes back

 

via Daily Prompt: Triumph

a change in wind
after the drought
a kiss

cambio di vento
dopo la siccità
un bacio
