The color of the wind haiku

moonlit night
knowing the color of the wind
too dark, too dark

A branch tanka

a branch
bathed in light
where the raven was--
holding onto my desire
to paint with colors

How many haiku can you write about plum blossoms?

Traffic light haiku quartet

1/
green light--
a glimpse of a little girl
holding her tambourine

2/
green light--
fading reverb of her
tambourine

3/
at the traffic light
discerning the sound of
different colors

4/
busy junction
her tambourine glistens with
unknown song

Afternoon wind haiku

afternoon wind
the leaves start dressing
the color of dust

angin sore
daun-daun berbusana
sewarna debu

You too, bees

you too, bees
hypnotized by its color?
hibiscus blossoms

Color of leaves haiku

rainwashed away
it's your face, oh no...
the color of leaves

terbilas hujan
wajahmu, bukan...
warna dedaunan

Dream rain haiku

so colorful
my dream about rain
like i see it

sungguh berwarna
mimpiku tentang hujan
seperti kulihat
