the grass stiff with frost—

from under the bridge

pale geese drift into moonlight

Haiku Presence

mist on the lake—

heron ripples

swallow fish ripples

Ginyu

harvest moon …

with each rocking of the last ferry

the green faces

Kô

roadside café—

on the flatbed truck

bits of a fairground

Blithe Spirit

distant clouds—

the batsman slowly

shifts his weight

Yellow Moon

halfway across the bridge

a lone cyclist

vanishes into fog

Kokako

sea-wall the wind presses us together

Envoi

midday heat

the heron’s world

in a ripple

Heron’s Nest

dirty grey afternoon crumble with last year’s blackberries

Modern Haiku

Grand Canyon

we choose a brooch

for her mother

Modern Haiku

perhaps next year

she says …

autumn mist

Frogpond

ice-breaker–

I pretend her smile

is for me

Mayfly

insomnia I develop an allergy to middle C

Blithe Spirit

pale sun—

the girls in the market

try on velvet hats

Haiku Presence
