Midday drizzle haiku and tanka

1/
whirlwind
cut hay takes
another turn

2/
a silent flight of
yesterday grasses in
midday drizzle

3/
there's always an end
of seasons, love and life
the trees, you and I
calling for the rain to revive
the spirit of dead leaves

Silent sea haiga

Silent night..haiga

Thanks to my colleague Esdoubleu Lie who contributes his haiku for the painting.

Silently haiga

How many haiku can you write about plum blossoms?

Silent footpath haiku

silent footpath
the remnant of your last kiss
hibiscus blossoms

jalan setapak
bekas kecupan terakhirmu
kembang sepatu

Night make up haiku

silent pond
night make up on her face
the orion

kolam diam
riasan malam di wajahnya
bintang belantik*

Silent race haiku chain

(1)
voice on the microphone
freezes the daybreak
a neighbor dies

suara corong toa
saat fajar menggigil
ada tetangga mati

(2)
rainclouds overhead
and the funeral
silently racing

mendung menggantung
dan pemakaman itu
berpacu diam-diam

(3)
smell the roses six feet under

membaui mawar dari dalam kubur
