Spring Haiku
Mother's reminder
fast approaching global warming
with balmy March
family reunion
some reptilians plan to gather
shedding the old skin

March Haiku/Senryu
some buds are ready
to see the world, some not
just like human
neighbors emerge from
their winter confinement to wave hello
spring greetings

The Weekly Avocet
The Flowery Pajamas
The Flowery Pajamas
I got it on sale, flash at a glance
but lovely on second look
with the busy pattern of Burgandy flowers
and green leaves. Even a faint scent, an imagination?
You say it's gaudy, I say fantastic; a world of flowery language
that sooths mind, pull you in the soft world
of sleep. Sleepy sleep.
The mirrored image not bad; the bookish
old lady turned to...well, a silly party girl
in the story book.
Fall asleep to meet a sleep angel.
Alas! The usual nightmare demon?
O such a grin, I have never seen;
"Why not little fun?" whispers.
Which is better, jagged shard,
or squirmy worm?
Neither does good for the sleep world.
Awake in the wee hour, change the
pajamas, throw into the box, almost.
Wear them more often,
and snore more.

Carefree Moment
Carefree Moment
Now and then, we resort our favorite
observation point
to clarify the thoughts that tend to
scatter away like petals in the wind
today, we even forgot why we were here
enchanted by the song of the pastel clouds
might as well be a carefree soul for the day

Getting something while idling
Getting Something while idling
going for a ride
to the village
to the hamlet
no particular reason
just for serendipity

What darkness also conjures
What darkness also conjures
In the backyard evening settled,
I stretch my arms over my head,
take a deep breath, and exhale "Ko-ho--"
a sudden grunt from the nearby dark slope,
"Thuh-u-uh!"
on the back of my neck the hair stand.
An animal hurries down the hill then stops
in the midway, to glance at me.
revealed in the light is none other than
my friend buck.
"Scared you?" to my voice,
toward me, he slowly moves;
the fear and joy; at the twilight, the twin;
he absorbs my smile,
learn one more of our being
in the dark.
