- gibbous moon–
baby on her back
sleeping - clenching a fist
the nursing baby
raising a day moon - the nursing baby
opens its mouth…
an abyss - snowball
the moment a baby
curls up to sleep - sleeping baby
turns so quickly…
crescent moon - moon sliver–
sleepy baby
holds a curl - avalanche
the flow of milk
from mum’s breast - avalanche
breast milk flows slowly
from the bottle - steady rain
water rushes slowly
directly from the faucet - waterfall hot water from the faucet

2023 AWAKENINGS
so if my calculations are correct, i have lived nearly 15,695 days. not including, let’s say the first 5 years of non-learning aka non-consciousness, 13,870. not discounting crawling, drooling and other life (sense) experiences, all these activities are important for life and or daily living. rambling at an end.
for today, yesterday, tomorrow, a few conscious sightings Haiku.
- full moon–
behind me a baby
crawls - moon phases the naked child crawls
- the far side
of the moon…
compressed diapers - sickle moon–
don’t bump your head
on cloth diapers - sickle moon–
don’t go floating away
cloth diaper - day moon curled baby sleeps in a place
- sickle moon–
sleeping side by side
drowsy babies - slight curve
of the day moon
sleepy baby - sleeping baby
tucked into folds…
sickle moon - full moon–
hungry baby goes quickly
to mum’s breast
105 Days And Counting
May 09, 2022…
Topic of Haiku – Dandelions & Sunshine
sinking sun
when the dandelion rises
amazingly straight
dandelions—
still some stars remain
grounded
late dandelions
the sunlight reaches
one after another
winter dandelions
standing askew
shining, shining
hot sunrise
May dandelion
upright in a breeze
rising sun
through blades of grass
blooming dandelion
starry night
dandelions bend at an angle
wherever they bloom
plucked dandelions
the light of stars
starts waning
dandelions
so many stars fallen
from the sky
April Surprises…
On April 20, 2022, of this year, obviously, I took a New Year’s walk with my little love, Lola. She is nearly 14 years old this October 2022. Anyway, before our daily walks, since there is no rain, I was allowed by Mother Nature to make the following observations of my Lola and other natural things, during and after our daily walks. I hope you, reader(s) enjoy the happiness and surprises that we encountered on that day. If I had my camera in hand, I would have taken a quick photo, but of course, the snake in its travels, moved swifter than I could. 😉
before our walk…

the sunshine is ahead
of the sunrise
teacup chihuahua
her shiny coat
ahead of the sunshine
sunshine—
teacup chihuahua
a sunny spot moves
around the apartment
during our walk…
sunrise
a gardener snake
rises itself from the grass
sunrise—
as the gold snake rises
from the grass
the gardener snake rises
suddenly, swiftly
april sunrise
after our walk…
sunshine
my chihuahua rests
on the sofa
sunshine—
sleepy chihuahua
stays in bed sulking
for a short while
sleeping chihuahua…
where a soft light shines
peeking
from the blankets
HELL IS MOVING
My apologizes, my beloved followers, but this Madasahatter needs to take some time away from daily postings. I might or might not be moving and we all know that Moving has its own levels of hell and frustration that one must contend with. So until I am settled down once more, I shall say, Thank You for the daily follow and comments and encouragement. You might find me via Facebook under my name Dorna Hainds.
I am going to try and continue Haiku for as long as possible.
One can only pack and move and re-rearrange so much, right?
Until my return, I bid you farewell. And always, try and find some Happy in your days.
Sincerely,
Madasahatter572
