Cherry blossom haiku

blossom viewing
caressing his bald head
so motherly

cherry blossom
her first blind date
after divorce

High noon haiku

high noon--
growing the shadows
of dead trees

Ordinary love haiku and tanka

1/
crescent moon--
the midnight's chill
down to the root

2/
you gave me
no ordinary love
by the campfire
too much warmth
to freeze in time

Loveboat haiku and tanka

1/
he decided to paddle
his loveboat to distant shore
and his vow
was about returning to grow
trees for nesting birds

2/
cornerview
birdbath
birdless

3/
gecko's voice--
secretly counting
her fingers

4/
wingbeat of bats
and so falls the night
dressed in black

5/
love, like life
will find a way
don't ask
why i cover my face
with layers of rain
