Autumn Haiku #2

Each day shorter now
'recuerda mi corazon'
source of warmth and light

Autumn Haiku #1

10/15/12 

spring and summer spent 

like a leaf through autumn now 

blown hard toward year's end

4/19/12

spiraling to health
love and kindness, the calyx
precious flower, life

4/7/12 #2

sand massages soles
old scars melt, welcome relief
thank you Mama Earth

4/7/12 #1

‎

Perfect sand dollars
Something changed deep in my soul
Left them as they lay

4/4/11

as this day begins
set intention in cross hairs
heart aimed straight at peace

3/31/12

your half plus my half
means one homeless stranger leaves
with a whole sandwich

3/29/12

Life as a construct
Choose with care all elements
Room for leaf and sun

3/29/12

self-preservation
no excuse for cruelty
path of certain fail

3/27/12

inside warm and dry
rain like sapphire lullaby
falls through chill twilight

03/25/12

outside, life streams by
thinly veiled, a muted roar
curtain filters light

03/20/12

As I sit zazen
Mind turns 'nothing' into 'thing'
Delusion is born

03/23/12

Integral to Self
Didn't realize 'til I stopped
Haiku is my heart

Looks like it's back to one a day or bust.
Salud!
:)

52 haiku/#3

'ugly" to the bone
still no less a child of God
no child left behind

52 Haiku/#2

Haiku, you're past due
Life and death preempted pen
Glad to have you, now

52 Haiku/ #1

mischievous prayer flag
skips on breeze then suddenly
slaps me on the head
