Hi Ladies! Sending love ❤️❤️❤️ to all and a new (old) haiku from my Haiku Book for Mom:
deep
blue-grey shadows
the weary day
hunchess down
crushing
tops of trees
.
Here’s today’s haiku, original version from my Haiku Book for Mom:
cold
overcast day
roof-top pigeons huddle
feathers
fluttering
in the wind
.
From WE, from A Haiku Book for Mom:
fruitless mulberry
early morning party-line —
leaves
chatter in the wind
.
Frem WE from my Haiku Book for Mom:
teasing my nose
today’s breakfast treat —
the smell
of cinnamon yams
.
It’s gotten way late here as usual so while it’s still today, here’s another haiku from my Haiku BooK for Mom. It’s about a time after 25 or 30 years dh and I had the whole house recarpeted with a great buy we found at a place called Remnants and Rolls that had lots of new left-over carpet for cut rates. We found some that we really liked that was just exactly enough to carpet the whole house plus I asked them to lay double padding:
new
squishy-soft
carpet —
walking
sinking
with tiny cat feet
.
Two versions below; the first from A Haiku Book for Mom, the second revised now:
the faintest light —
fog stands silently
permeates
the morning air
v2
the faintest light —
fog stands silently
filling
the morning air
.
from A Haiku Book for Mom:
black asphalt road
late-for-work cars rush by
tires spinning on air
.
Two haiku today, both fron the Haiku Book for Mom:
pest control man
spraying poison
around the yard —
insects scatter fast!
❤️
through my sister’s eyes
lily-white cactus flowers
floating
in the pond
.
.
solitude —
even clock
ticking in kitchen
an unwelcome guest
.
.
suddenly
knowing
I
was
falling
∙
the
hard
cement
.
.
Posted at WE on 10-24-23 from A Haiku Book for Mom:
.
morning rain has paused —
flowering ash tree
blossoms with doves
.
.
still
stone
statue
tail fixed in time
cat
ready to pounce
.
(As posted at WE, revised a bit from the original in A Haiku Book for Mom 2015.)

special bits of time
sharing vanilla chai tea
just my mom and me

wild fields beyond —
after the rain
twin rainbows kiss
our redwood fence
