above all else rising through an open sky a hunter's moon #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

with each high tide an ever growing plastic trail stranded on the beach #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

high tide has turned and truth is ebbing fast away past the shelter of the harbour's strong stone wall and on beyond the quay and the lifeboat station past the crooked rocks and subtle shifting sands far out, beyond our shining guiding light and on and on into the deep dark night. #DailyHaikuPrompt

nervous laughter breaking awkward silence into kinder pieces #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

under the eaves of a late autumn sunset departing swallows #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

the long twilight of a late autumn day planting crocuses #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka #HaikuFeels

ebbing sunset fusing dappled wave crests on a path of light as the bright low tide sand ripples across the shore #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

as footsteps progress from the very first to last beginning to end. as the path is the journey the journey — destination #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

the destination of all those footsteps where I am — now #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

where the salmon spawn the water runs clear and cool death and birth unite — #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

first light frost hanging in the chilly air condensing each breath #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

a series of haiku exploring the changing seasons, the equinox being a tipping point towards winter and the loss of light and freedom that it brings, and the analogy of the political winter that is steadily drawing in. such somber sadness as day slips slowly into night and seasons turn

after the first frost autumn leaves release their grip a compost cascade #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

after the harvest sunset gathers its last glow and night begins #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

the brush does not move even as it sweeps the floor — it's your mind that moves #Haiku #senryu #tanka

brief cactus flower closing in the morning light never to open again #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

where walnuts fall orchid memories mingle — with thoughts of spring #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

cool morning mist a lone deer alert to danger quietly turns its head #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

before the carving pumpkins in a distant field soak up the last sun #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

in the flower shop chrysanthemum explosion grandmother's memory grey hair on her shoulders green fingers in her plants #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

after the rain a small plastic puddle whale drops from a child's hand #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

beyond the grave blackberries and an apple tree memories of home #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

after the harvest the reaper and his scythe take a break all the crop now gathered in life's short cycle takes a spin #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

down the willow track children with blackberry grins carry their empty bowls #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

the silent laughter of a full lunar eclipse obscured by cloud #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

i love how the #DailyHaikuPrompt pairs are so often full of imagery in their own right. My favorite this week has got to be the Puddle Whale and I look forward to discussing that with my grandchildren. many thanks #DailyHaikuPrompt

the last abalone shell what a wonder to behold I knew the fisherman that pulled that meat and chucked the shell down by my feet

a dark new moon pulling dark new curtains across the sky yet we know that pattern well in dreams our fathers dreamt #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

with a swirl and a whirl autumn will unfurl then a swirl and a flurry winter's in such a hurry

a thicker coat swirl of leaves at my feet a glance at the sky summer's blooms are now all blown and autumn's sitting on the throne #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

early autumn walk the spring mud on my old boots knows the path well #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

hot chili peppers in the cool autumn mist spicing up winter #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

moistened by mist at the end of a silver trail an elegant snail #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

swirling mist— another day of the news cycle #DailyHaikuPrompt (mist)

boisterous clouds boiling the distant horizon autumns first rain #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

the laden vine and the kiss of sweet summers so long ago time now to harvest memories and drink to loves long gone #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

across the valley the plough pulls the blinds one field at a time #Haiku #senryu #tanka one from last year

processed sardines in their tight metal overcoat so far from the sea #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

on supermarket ice sardines vie for our attention before the checkout #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka a little angry a little sad but we're all headed for the checkout do we really need to speed it up

at its heart even the sweetest peach has a stone #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

across the stubble field a refreshing westerly the season turns #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

an ordinary day another egg on the move patiently waiting #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

across the bay all eyes are drawn to the light distant lanterns #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka lantern with a hint of sardine

there was a young man from Mars who loved to drive really fast cars he made a mistake on the overtake and now he lives in a vase

times undeulations plusing through my to do list the seeds of decay #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

haiku desert in this cold rain chill decay a late sunrise #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

peaceful joy . . . not even corrosive time could wash it all away #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

red kite overhead rising on the soft breeze gliding over trees riding on life's thermals twisting with fate's fortune #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka

sun soaked land waiting for the autumn rain to fill the cracks #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #senryu #tanka
