before the storm
the old rocker creaks
a cricket replies
one mouldy glove
forgotten in the autumn
a drop of rain – falls

Morning Haiku and Waka – April 28, 2016
alone –
a swan swims into view
flowers blossom
§§§§
cold morning walk
north wind freezes the blossoms
snow dusts the mountains
§§§§§§
on this spring morning
looking at the snowy mount
and cherry blossoms
turning brittle on the trees
still – the birds huddle
no song fills the morning air
grey clouds hang heavy
and the northern winds whistle
ringing the wind chimes
making the trees bow low
and then for a moment –
a single ray of sunshine
escaped through the clouds
a single blackbird
began to sing his spring song
in the herb garden
a new sprout raises its head
there’s no denying
life’s warmth is a breath away
just waiting to be perceived.
§§§§
the stone wall
behind this screen holds up
my red clay tiled roof
and the nest of two sparrows
hear them twitter happily

Wind Bag – Basho’s Thoughts – March 2, 2016
spring storms
wind howling down the mountains
scattering blossoms
old man blustering
uproots creativity
withered blossoms
fragile blossoms
destroyed in the spring
by the northern wind
blowing force of nature
withers all it touches

A flash of lightening – Tan Renga – March 15, 2015
Today’s haiku master for our weekly hokku is Ese of Ese’s Voice
stroked by the lightning
delicate peaks of sand dunes
– silence before the storm
© Ese
impetuous winds whisper
passionate encounters
spring’s inconstancy
sunshine smiles then anger storms
ah – March afternoon
