Definition Haiku #1 Perambulator Love's spillage on rolling stock Life' final caper

Slow fingers of fog Autumn's blush a tattered quilt The folly of leaves

melting snow
by the burning fire
an untold desire.

 

*** Priyanka Bhowmick

rain arrives
with intense shower
peacocks dance with bliss.

Looking through the rain

after so much violence

we named it Peace Park

dedicated to healing

may all beings awaken

the year ends with the long tail of a squirrel's shadow

end of autumn

the dog's bark whitens

money isn’t all

it just happens to be most

majority rules

invisible feet

rustling through the tall grasses--

     approaching summer


hollow in the sand--

my son transfers the blue sea

     with his tiny hands


in the thunder storm--

   my daughter's favorite doll

      trembles in her arms


mouse deer chewing grass-

soundlessly the dew drops break

     underneath hits hooves


man lands on the moon-

   from the heap of withered leaves

      an earthworm crawls out

musical beads falling

gentle refreshing breeze

lovely is Rainy Day

-Bleak

 

Wind of the full moon..

Enchanted the wanderer..

Has Unveiled itself..

gulls tack on the wind

hovering over turquoise

chopped shining water

little birds race with

each wave, balancing on stick

legs, beach acrobats

summer is the time

for moving music in front

of days' everything

quick clouds and slick sun

in the heart of the summer

slow the long days down

not all the squirrels

play lightly in the forest,

one watches the clouds

swan in the lake

fritters away

from coloured visitors

thirsty summer noon

delves deeper

into my old well

No one ever said

One minute without you is

Equal to a year.

Sheer floes worn thin now

Trout once again bestow

Fathers favorite brook.

 

The night owls slumbering,

Rummage the rimy gourd patch;

Wily mice.

In this wintered meadow;

Day breaks loudly,

Crow stir from bleak oaks.

First, my own echo

Then my stone's against well's wall

I wish and it plunks!

Snow blows.

Crisp grass.

Crow stir from chattering oaks.

Day breaks loudly!

Feels like I'm floating

Butterflies in my tummy

I think I'm in love

Waiting in the lounge

the only passenger

sandal perfume

Hides behind

a naked tree

the full moon

Reciting

my nightly woes

no one hears

Sensing sex

in her pink smile--

long talk short

Softness of her lips

and dancing of her tongue

warm wetness

Fingers feel

decaying fireflies

in lamplight

--R.K.SINGH

cool wind and sunlight

wrestle with each other

upon my bare skin 

 

no less stiff they, eye /

growl, lament the bleeding bone /

young brother blaze heart

 

[I made this on twittermagnets - good fun]

Flowing Water

 

 The sound of water

A pleasant, relaxing sound

I’ll listen all day

I watch the trees,

their bright clothes are falling off

yet, they still entrance

a deep murky pond

conceals my innermost thoughts

but may overflow

a vague, puzzled life

clinging vines grasp for answers

find none, try again

in spring snowflakes spring
head on in springy spring to
melt like winter dreams

old tree.....

forgotten lovers

carved in bark

winter ending......

some leaves

refuse to fall

 

Streams are precious

Help me and others conserve

Them to help ourselves.

Sun, sky, cloud, and birds

give me the whole house of things,

and some old nails--words.

 

Mid afternoon sun

leaves me without a shadow--

spring breaks winter's lock.

At the end of days

Colors follow setting suns

Escaping black night

Sun ball bounces up

in the clear air of morning--

rebounding through me.

silence

soundless screams echo
from the dissonance abyss
touching just nothing

Yellow crocus fights

the melting snow.  And sweeps

winter’s chill from my soul.

Frigid water roars

Over cobbled stones and falls

Foaming, snarling, down.

Yellow leaves surrender

 to the cold.   Swept away.

Courted by the wind.

Her eyes catch mine

A smile therein, and humor.

Another life, unlived….

Laughing cotton clouds

Caress the snow capped mountains.

Bringing Spring's promise.

down the road

bird held in cage

going where?

two stars

one engine

on the road tonight

casement

light slips through

the frames of pane

out there

the puppy yhaps

amoung the pack

lonely lantern

slippers come

and slips into the dark

first cherry blossoms:

three only

to kindle the branch

Devious Winter

most snow in decades

   a week of record flooding

yet two-thirds of norm

Of Permanent Change

life is illusion

   simply crescendos of form

transmuting matter

These Days

Mom and Dad working

   children don't police themselves

the bills are piling up

Haiku's Net

count five seven five

   all seventeen syllables

capturing much life

                 - Calico Jordan

a cat under foot

   dance well around it one must

move this way through life

                             - Calico Jordan

 Nature of the Pond

the pebble must sink

   miraculous splash of life

      our ripples live on

ice blue fire ignites

turning on my engine light

warning of hot times!

She calls out to me,

  but her words pass by too quickly

  in the ever moving wind.
