The window washer helping himself #haiku #senryu #poetry

the mind gnaws upon the white crackled bones of these tired old thoughts until nothing is left but a mouthful of dust #♡ᝰ.🖋️ #poetrysky #poetry #poem #blueskypoets #micropoetry

oaks close the sky gaps cloudlight in the cow parsley silvergreens the air

write about light rain while robins call loudly for worms -- he said #haiku #spring

(Seen today in Tokyo … ) MONET EXHIBITION Sound of people taking pictures of pictures. ( … drove me nuts!) #haiku #senryu 🖼️

Even performed by nine-year-olds with toys the Ode to Joy #haiku #senryu #poetry

#haiku slow yellow lilies after all

Chasing waterfalls 🌈 #Stunday #scape #photography #Montmorency

cave paintings— our flashlight beams add another animal #haiku #poetry

inside the clangor an endless silence gathers that stops the bell’s tongue

Decommissioned vinyards, Old Mission Santa Ynez, early morning.

Middle of nowhere wondering where the grain elevator goes #haiku #senryu #poetry

the thought of a crow in the procession of clouds across the skylight

Broken seashells lining the path to the lighthouse #haiku #senryu #poetry

comfort is key with style-free clothes but stick with non-gaudy #inkMine (gaudy)

remember cloudlight across the magpie’s wingtip momentary blue

Antiques Roadshow the appraisers going silver #haiku #senryu #poetry

sun already high in the lilacs a blackbird sings #haiku

I few years ago I wrote a tongue-in-cheek guide to writing literary haiku called "How to Write Bad Haiku." It also has a picture of the late great Jabberwok, who was tortoiseshell with white patches, and whom I miss. Enjoy! discover.hubpages.com/literature/H...

here on the outskirts only the lonely streetlights chiming with the moon

Disneyland at dusk some of the crows crows #haiku #senryu #poetry

Old book its spine crooked #haiku #senryu #poetry

#haiku a box of sunset at the end of the street

petals falling~ a child opens his mouth "it's candy rain!" #haiku

bookstore aisle— my yes reading over my shoulder #haiku #poetry #senryu

with binoculars watch hooded mergansers birding with my sis #senryusunday #senryu #haiku #WikipediaPhoto en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooded_...

tasting the night air tender curve of a snail’s horn this little white moon

A child’s drawing the seagulls and the waves the same shape #haiku #poetry

the silent white sky untangling how God speaks in gaps between leaves

spring renewal brings good health on the horizon #haiku

a spring tide rising the gate to the bluebell wood tangled with cleavers

impossible to be cool now here I am but hotter #TankaThursday (cool)

O, me crew and i the dutchman bound tossed out on a quantum sea, down shrödingers locker a-ferryin' souls we know not what state they may be; an' when the rum's gone we'll all walk the Planck— a particle's life for me Yo-ho yo-ho Happy #WorldQuantumDay :) #quantumday #♡ᝰ.🖋️ #poetrysky #poetry #poem

#dailyhaikuprompt #plum plum blossoms floating on the breeze cumulous clouds

Radio telescopes their delicate petals facing other suns #haiku #poetry

stirring nervously in galeforce presentinents, windchimes soft discord

At her party she had fairy-cakes and jelly, but not the bumps. Adding 'one for luck' at her age could kill off the last of her friends. #ThingsToWriteAbout

hole in the pebble catching a glimpse of pale sky on the other side

Dusty riverbed a tree empties its branches into the sky #haiku #poetry

this hidden sunrise silvergrey of everyday citadels of clouds

Laundry line a spring breeze trying a blouse on #haiku #senryu #poetry

dawn wakes you slowly with the sheen of a dull pearl rolling you downhill

a pride of dandelions basking in the sun tawny manes aglow #♡ᝰ.🖋️ #haiku #poetrysky #poetry #poem #blueskypoets #micropoetry #poetrycommunity
