WAGGIN’ TAILS HAIKU #332
always in motion
echoing tick of the clock –
I lie awake at night

A BELATED NEW 2022 TO ALL
beer bubbles
a bittersweet taste
from yesterday
wild chrysanthemums
being withered
today more than yesterday
starry night —
yesterday, today, tomorrow
wild chrysanthemums
expand
and contracts
starry night —
in last year’s faraway field
withering chrysanthemums increase
its brightness
wild plum blossoms
today more than yesterday
shine in the forest
in the color of the moon
TWISTED TUESDAYS
@ madasahatter572 only…
like a shining sun
wild chrysanthemums
in a vase
@ BUDS OF HAIKU…
Golden Retriever
passes slowly
lingering summer heat
@ VIRTUAL HAIKU…
snowflakes
a glimpse
of moths
@ HAIKU NUGGETS…
prompt- sunset
where the Golden Retriever
becomes sleepy
winter sunset
MUCKY-MUCK MONDAYS
@ madasahatter572 only…
each time I dip my brush
with sumi-ink scent
the interior of the universe
reveals itself
@ SENRYU CIRCLE…
all his words
coming back to me—
whiteout
@ BUDS OF HAIKU…
a dab of butter
melting on the pancakes
winter sunny spot
@ SENRYU & KYOKA…
all his words
coming back to me—
whiteout
@ VIRTUAL HAIKU…
Karla Decker’s Original Haiku…
one long ribbon
becomes a hundred
snip snip
inspired by Karla Decker’s Haiku…
snowflakes
breaking to pieces
long white ribbon
AND
winter moon
the night flight
of a crane-shaped ribbon
COLLECTIVE SUNDAYS
@ madasahatter572 only…
short spring days—
winter’s turn
inside this snow globe
@ SENRYU CIRCLE…
a peak of snowy mountain
being piled up
pregnancy tests
@ BUDS OF HAIKU…
winter sunset
being withered
wild chrysanthemum
@ SENRYU & KYOKA…
a peak of snowy mountain
being piled up
pregnancy tests
@ VIRTUAL HAIKU…
table for one—
numb hands
cupping the color of the wind
@ HAIKU NUGGETS…
26th boxes
a peak of snowy mountain
being piled up
pregnancy tests
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL
Taking a moment or two to wish everyone; family, friends, beloved followers and new readers…to wish all of you a Safe and Happy 2021 Holiday. Here a few Haiku to celebrate this wintry occasion…
snowflakes
they fall from
giggling scissors
avalanche
the sounds
of gift paper falling
accumulating snow
entries in this diary
day after day
snowfall
the falling pages
of this year’s diary
a lone moon rolls down
like a blank paper
TRIPPY-TUMBLING THURSDAYS
@ madasahatter572 only…
chrysanthemum petals
falling slowly, slowly
dry snow accumulates
in the hallway
@ BUDS OF HAIKU…
chrysanthemum petals
falling slowly, slowly
it’s like watching snowflakes
@ VIRTUAL HAIKU…
snow comes…
a few flying petals
fall from the chrysanthemums
TRIPPY-TUMBLING THURSDAYS
@ madasahatter572 only…
a foot of snow
I stumble into
shredded love letters
@ BUDS OF HAIKU…
illustrated firefly
with sumi-ink scent
and the color of the wind
@ VIRTUAL HAIKU…
roses fall its petals
my living room floor is heavy
with thin blood
WISPY WEDNESDAYS
@ madasahatter572 only…
winter sunset…
chrysanthemum petals going down
holding the weight
of fallen snow
@ BUDS OF HAIKU…
old tatami maker
passing slowly, slowly
with the speed
of lingering summer heat
@ VIRTUAL HAIKU…
yowling cat…
i hear the sounds
of a melting icicle
TWISTED TUESDAYS
@ madasahatter572 only…
blue sky
it floats
and sinks…
@ BUDS OF HAIKU…
blue gust
same thickness
as soaring bluebird
@ VIRTUAL HAIKU…
stray cat
climbs up a tree
a night with a full moon
MUCKY-MUCK MONDAYS
@ madasahatter572 only…
November rain…
the scattered remnants
of bluebells
@ BUDS OF HAIKU…
moon gazing
into a glass
i pour fresh milk
@ THE DAILY HAIKU…
Original Haiku by Annie Wilson…
trees pirouette
shedding leaves like last regrets –
we ride the storm
my inspired Haiku…
departing summer—
towards the nether world
a myriad of green leaves
ride upon the storm
@ VIRTUAL HAIKU…
