Dusk haiga

A branch tanka

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

Full moon haiku triplet

1/
full moon...
i promise to sketch her
a lotus blossom

bulan penuh...
kujanjikan dia sketsa
sekuntum lotus

2/
different
layers of silence--
full moon

sunyi
berlapis-lapis--
purnama

3/
as if my mom
reads me bedtime story
full moon

seolah ibuku
sedang mendongeng
bulan nan bulat

I let you go

i let you go
at the dawn of our days
weeping wind
carries the phantasmagoria
from abandoned plain

Silently haiga

How many haiku can you write about plum blossoms?

Another blossoms haiga

Plum blossoms haiga

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

Hardly breathing tanka

hardly breathing in
this sultry April evening
deeper and deeper
the scar i tried to hide
carved on my heart of stone

One by one tanka

one by one
the trees let the leaves go
in evening wind
the words we created
walk past our shadows
