Four-leaf clover tanka

Lost in light haiga

Sent to me some months back, the image keeps haunting me. One out of many images Bambang N Karim produced for me, this image has been there in my hard disk for months. I eventually find the words for the haiga;

lost in light

my heart mind soul

here lie under 

a grassblade bends for

the damselfly

Moonless haiku

lie to me
this year won't end
moonless

月は出ず年は明けずとウソ言いな
