A fence around tanka

a fence around
our house to keep it out
anything but us
your dream of wandering
my poem, my lost love

Mandala haiga

Along with "cerebral palsy" this haiga was previously submitted to Notes from The Gean. Due to editorial changes, Mellinda Hipple returned this back to me. She then, started to work on new online journal A Hundred Gourds and asked me if I were interested in submitting this to AHG. And, voila! It appears in A Hundred Gourds Vol. 1;1

Tuberculosis tanka

the vapor
from the river below
reaches the balcony
where he talks to
his tuberculosis

alternate version goes

from the balcony
gazing at the river down below
the vapor rises
and gathers the air
i exhale tuberculosis

Fancy dinner haiku

The first haiku altered into two different versions. Don't know which one is the best.

i/
fancy dinner
bought for a long lost friend
how much?
the change i keep for myself
since our last encounter

ii/
buy a dinner
with long lost friend
too much
the change i keep
only for myself

iii/
treat a friend
to a fancy dinner
is it too much?
the change i keep for myself
since our last encounter

fireflies

perubahan iklim
kunang-kunang menjaga
kenanganku tentangmu

Just another rain haiku -again

just another rain
mystical chant across the street
she keeps clearing her throat

hujan seperti biasa
lantunan barzanji dari seberang jalan
dia terus mendehem
