Just Karma 84 for May 2016 b

Just Karma 84
Breeze?
(Elfje series)
Wind
To test
The strength of
The newly built robin’s
Nest
High
Up in
The Silver Maple
That I watched her
Build
From
The safety
Of my own
Nest - all my chicks;
Flown

Zingiberales

to watch them climb high; reaching
through spring to summer

Shlomo, fast?
(haiku)
half blind from sleeping
dreams unclear as opaque glass;
happy birthday Sigmund

©JP/dh

Playing with Shlomo as slow-mo or slow motion.
Also Freud’s middle name.

Just Karma 80 for May 2016 b

Just Karma 80
slow spring
(haiku/renga)
more nurturing the
rain continues; enough break
to pull onion grass
slow to bloom azalea
are still in bud on the plant
forsythia, daffs
hyacinth are finished now;
iris unfolding

Just Karma 79 for May 2016 b

Just Karma 79
The Cup Fills
More
More rain
Some thunder
Some lightning
Water to fill the gully
Water to fill the creek
From here until next week
More
More ‘asks’
Some simple
Some complex
Questions to be answered
Questions to be discussed
From relations that are crossed
More
More sighs
Some in relief
Some in frustration
Choices to invest in
Choices to investigate
From here until next week
©JP/dh
(Free verse in pattern)

Just Karma 78 for May 2016 b

Just Karma 78
...and the band played on...
(haiku/tanka series)
in uniform; play
music from musicians to
mostly older folks
United States Air Force a
powerhouse; wonderful skill
rec-center hosted
the afternoon concert for
the community
In the gym, we listened there;
sitting on un-cushioned chairs
instrumental sounds
along with a few vocals;
honor and delight
©JP/dh
See when they might be playing in your area:

Just Karma 77 for May 2016 b


Just Karma 77
water falls
(Elfje series)

Geese
Goose, gander
Goslings I see
Out the picture window
grazing
*
around
midnight here
rain...falls...after
a full day of
Mowing

mowing
the overgrown
grasses and weeds;
digging daffodil bulbs for
friends

friends
to enjoy
brilliant swaying yellow
for the next spring
Season
*
Grazing
Through a
Slow morning as
The rain continues to
Patter
