Dog day haiku

1/
a narrow escape
from my alter ego--
culmination

2/
dog day
his solar panel harvesting
withered leaves

3/
midday drizzle
perfect distraction
for his diagnosis

4/
high noon--
the ice cream guy
gets one for himself

5/
the kiss
i never steal--
first rain

Waning moon

1/
waning moon
as I let her go
to the past
the grief I keep

only for my self

2/

dusk--
counting the days
she spends solitarily
quietly, lengthen and fade
the shadows of leafless twigs

3/
morning mist
faint murmur from the deep
primeval forest
so much to decode
in her sleepy eyes

Paper boat and drizzle tanka

1/
tell me, owl
about nothingness
under this roof
a sheer monotony
of midnight drizzle

2/
love
is sacred
lightly
he sends a paper boat
down the river

What's left tanka

what's left
by the rain today
this chill
i feel on my skin
you on yours

Midnight cricket haiku

midnight crickets
knowing you, like me too, like
nothing else matters

Naked moon

never before
I found it so tantalizing
naked moon
