a new year no rules
zazen notebooks haiku thoughts
write journals sip tea

 ·

chop veggies make soup
these are the pleasures of life
haiku zazen days

·

trolls fall off the bridge
water dark and murky cold

no more trolls to spit

·

sister writes a note

trolls no longer rule her life
write poems sip tea

·

chop veggies make soup
these are the pleasures of life
haiku zazen days

(tanka — 5-7-5-7-7)

·

sister spits on trolls
hiding under dirty socks

sweeps them out the door
trolls no longer rule her life
filled with haiku zazen days
