Running make up haiku

the first rain cleanses
the dust on the leaves and
the make up on her face

Shining dew tanka

after the dawn
i search every dew
for my last reverie
though you're not here
to keep it shining

First light tanka

first light--
I stop questioning
where you will be
when the leaves fall
and touch the ground

Family gathering tanka

familiar faces
too many to memorize
names and numbers
all around the table
of food and laughter
