fading heat of
trampled stone

From across the roji haiga

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

Beach haiku

‎1/
wave-washed sand castle--
the fading warmth of
your laughter

2/
i know, dear
you were stars last night
pebbles on the beach

3/
barefooted--
knowing why the left
deeper in the sand

Snail trail haiku

These haiku were written as i found a simple yet beautiful painting bay Mary Rodning at http://www.haigaonline.com/issue11-2/issue11-2.html

(1)
she passes by
why should i cry, my reflection
fades on her trail

dia pergi
haruskah menangis, rautku
hilang dari jejaknya

(2)
a simple pledge
to keep it in my mind, your trail
doesn't last long

biarlah tersimpan
dalam ingatan, jejakmu
lenyap bergegas

Gliding crane tanka

blue sky--
a crane gliding thru
the wind
blows at my back
slows down and fades

langit biru--
seekor bangau membelah
angin
menghembus punggungku
makin pelan dan berhenti

Paddy field tanka

in the paddy field
scattered seeds
sprout
the smell of life
fades in the air

berkecambah
benih tertabur
di sawah
aroma kehidupan
menipis di udara
