She glides on petals
sprinkling dust on lily pads
bright morn in the pond

Rain and wind

Neil Sedaka, The Cascades, Winnie the Pooh

I love rain. Especially when I’m indoors. To me it means a cup of hot chocolate, a paperback, or carrying on with work safe and warm inside

And I tend to have lovely thoughts when it’s pouring outside –

or even when it’s blustery.

Rescue

damsel in perpetual distress

Fair damsel in need
of perpetual rescuing
knights are rather bored

Dusk

forest home, hearth, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Crickets chirp a song
Snow White’s seven hurry home
to a blazing hearth

Death

Tags

wake

Mourners play mahjong
roadside wake in progress
coins fill the alms jar

There is ginger tea
unnecessary wailing
bright bulbs like searchlight

Huge truck loses brakes
crashes hut, plows the coffin
poor dead dies again

Script

doctor's script

 Lanky l’s, thin t’s
on scented stationery
illegible script

sweet love scribbles like
chicken claw scratches on soil
he’s now a surgeon

Haiku Heights

A quick trip down memory lane: He was seventeen. I was sixteen. His letters showed hints that he was poised to become a doctor. He sent roses…. We drifted apart. It was tough. But like everything else you get over it.

Fast forward to 2012: He sent me a brief note. Probably written during a break in a 16-hour shift. This time it was absolutely legible. Facebook does wonders ;p
