Here's this week's heap of haikus:
Once a year, Pi day
comes around. It should be squared.
But never mind that.
( 3-14 is Pi day. )
---
The bare trees seem poised,
waiting for Spring to arrive.
Spring is running late.
---
Puddles ripple at
the edge of a lonely street.
Intermittent rain.
---
What colors my sky
are emotional shades of
a diverse palette.
---
A new moon will shine
on an old village square, and
make it young again.
(I originally wrote piazza rather than village square, but too many people mis-read it as pizza.)
---
A moonlit whisper,
two lovers in silhouette;
gentle affection.
---
A tiny sparrow
is chased by a feisty pup
pulling a young girl.
---
Happiness is not
a station you arrive at,
it's the train you're on.
---
A tangle of trees
may clutter the morning sky
but happily so.
---
Double haiku:
The first workday of
Daylight Savings resumes my
breath-taking rides home.
Dusk on the Hudson,
clouds glow o'er the Palisades,
lights blink on the bridge.
----
If you only stand
facing West, than nothing will
ever dawn on you.
---
on-the-other-hand-ku:
Young men that follow
Horace Greely's advice, will
some day reach Japan.
---
Over a basin
a woman washes off an
amorous pursuit.
( Mary Cassatt -
---
Apres tour jetes,
a small ballerina stops
to smell the roses.
Thanks to Kristina Rebelo for the use of her photograph
---
Sitting in the shade
in the afternoon, ladies
leisurely texting.
( Monet - The Park )
---
The green glow of night,
a downtown drenched in fog, an
escape by subway
( NYC City Hall - 1907 )
