2023 AWAKENING xxi

*of course no Haiku can be complete without a few fart jokes 😉

  1. spring breeze
    through the night
    gentle breathing
  2. full moon
    the distance
    of a baby’s fist
  3. scattered clouds
    on the floor
    soiled nappies
  4. scarlet light
    restless mother scratches
    her breast
  5. summer avalanche
    from the changing table
    nappies fall
  6. a farting contest
    between twins…
    heated wind
  7. heated wind–
    no incense
    just farts
  8. breath of wind —
    mother and child’s
    fart contest
  9. hints of wind
    blown away
    by baby’s farts
  10. lashing winds —
    from the crib
    baby’s farts
  11. autumn wind
    the whine
    of baby’s farts

2023 AWAKENING xi

  1. trying to read
    late-night thermometer
    wormy scribbles
  2. hazy moon
    spilt formula
    stains mum’s nightshift
  3. red moon
    how many berries
    stains baby’s mouth?
  4. wormy scribbles
    it’s sleepy time
    for baby
  5. thick moonlight
    between my fingers
    folded nappy
  6. lunar eclipse
    mum examines the position
    of soiled nappies
  7. snowy peaks
    the stack of nappies
    taller than the house
  8. heavy snow
    the slow accumulation
    of folded nappies
  9. baby’s snores
    merge with mum’s snores…
    spring breeze
  10. fresh milk–
    pouring into my glass
    thin moonlight
  11. pouring out
    fresh milk…
    thin moonlight
