2021
dawn storm
dissolves into
its blows
lock down
no social distancing
for flock of sparrows
gazing
at never getting old
hunch backed moon
winter cold
the radiator
murmuring
anti-curfew protest
a police on his horse
staring at rising moon
deep
the reign of winter
deep
subtle snow
with a kiss
from russia
lock down
evaporating in snow
children’s boredom
thick snow
the affinity deepens
between trees
skating children
on a frozen pond
a slipping goose
over the farm fence
a flying sparrow
followed by spring scent
a sleeping leopard
lending her rosettes
to starry night
cold winter night
a hungry spotted hyena
biting the starlit sky
early leap
time to space
spring
lingering across
melting snow stream
spring soothing sound
curfewed street
a meeting
of neighbourhood cats
snow
resting on a birch
folded white velvet
after rain
brimming with gratitude
bowl of lake
8 march
for mom i wear
a new smile
no prey
a hawk sways in its beak
the empty sky
social distancing
a girl cuddles
her doll
grey pine
dropping its needles
unhurt ground
norouz sun
the grudge i cast aside
i don’t remember
norouz buds
despite frosty night
norouz buds
floating clouds
over the spring pastures
ditch to ditch
brief lived snow
burst and bloom of
hyacinths
freezing april
the slow pace of
pear blossoms
spring colours
despite april chill
spring colours
spring mild
floating blossoms
on the loos
earth day
self-portrait
pear blossoms
earth day party
dress code
pear blossoms
three great th’s
birth growth death
my motto
may wind
the bamboo chimes
a new hope
rainy wind gone
flood of petals on pavement
wave on wave
rain ends
i cross the road
with a tiny cloud
thunder
asking a garden buddha
where to enter a satori
after fight
winner’s face concealed
with photo flashes
noon wind
two poppies
entangled
oak processionary
she takes out her anger
on a cawing crow
june drizzle
i let go of a quarrel
with the heat
summer storm
with my bad karma
i reconcile
full moon
a life
i reshape
reaching
its reflection in water
weeping willow
asparagus picking
the farmer’s daughter smiles
at a blind man
manifests
in a rain water bucket
my contentment
full moon
enjoying in the pond
its expression
four downpours in a row
cannot remember
my previous lives
open sky
the fear i carry
in imagination
kinsugi
how to reconcile with
my other broken half
sun after rain
many obstacles to overcome
baby snail
summer calm
in a haiku anthology
a flapping butterfly
hiroshima day
before a jesus statue
a monk bows
summer heat
i write in capital letters
ENOUGH!
ancient buddhas
all say the same thing
floating floating
rushing outside
to measure rain intensity
with a teaspoon
colourful dawn
the poetic diction of
chirping birds
