another year...
the things the flowing water
leaves behind

*

Chiyo-ni's haiku:

the passing year
irritating things
are also flowing water

christmas eve
in a leafless plum tree
a puffed-up robin


*
whichever holiday you choose to celebrate, i wish you a happy one!

*

elections...
magpies squabble
in a leafless maple

frost-laced pine
a crow's silhouette
bends its top

whodunnit...
between pages with the murder scene
a squashed moth

he texts
he will be late...
all night fog

the feather of Maat...
what to do
with this broken heart
