Long lasting rain haiku

long lasting rain
discerning the shiver
in her voice

awet hujan
getar yang tertangkap
pada suaranya

Wheelchair haiku

as if it could tell
how long I've been waited for
her wheelchair

Mother's lap haiku

rainclouds
long for a sleep
in her mother's lap

Plum blossoms haiga

My second haiga on my own painting; brush pen on tissue paper. Painted mindlessly during a workshop

Easy life haiku

easy life
an alley cat stretches
a while longer

Ant haiku 3

slippery and steep
this long road ahead
tiny red spot on my knees

licin dan terjal
jalan panjang di depan
titik merah mungil di lututku

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

Night choir haiku

long long night
a poet joins cricket
night choir

malam yang panjang
seorang penyair berdendang
dalam koor para jangkrik

Longer alley haiku

feels much longer now
the alley I am walking on in
my late dad's slipper

makin terasa panjang
lorong yang kususuri dengan sandal
mendiang bapakku

Shallow water tanka

washing my feet
after this long walk
in shallow water
the memory of you
runs downstream

membasuh kakiku
setelah perjalanan ini
di sungai kecil
kenangan tentangmu
larut dalam arus

Dream in monochrome tanka

longing for the light
matoa leaves
harvest the dews
a poet
dreams in monochrome
