in the backyard

the rainbow in the birdbath breaks -

a sipping Magpie                                                    (c)Chèvrefeuille

finch, robin, wren, cardinal,

jay, crackle; too join the show                                ©JP/davh

or

in the backyard

the rainbow in the birdbath breaks -

a sipping Magpie                                                    (c)Chèvrefeuille

colors, shades, multi hues are

twinkles of spring in birds eyes                              ©JP/davh

CD 450: Balloon

CD 450 balloon

she rode on the back

of a motorcycle, then

holding a red one

like the once popular song

Up, Up and away, she dreamt

she was younger then

perhaps now that is what she

remembers the best

lyrics of Up, up and away

CD 449: springs

CD 449 Springs

homestead, corner lot;

built over a natural

spring; long time ago

once the neighborhood was

all cornfield, or some farm

now when it rains, here -

unplanned, some of the new homes

spring unwanted leaks

CD Revise 5

CD Revise haiku 5

the snow has melted

on one shoulder

of the Great Buddha

(c) Shiki

at the sunny side

the snow in the backyard has melted -

snowdrops are blooming

(c) Chèvrefeuille

snow forecast, white flakes

float in the city, rain drops

in northern suburbs

CD Special 87

CD special 87 Soen Nakagawas

One note of the shakuhachi

resounds endlessly

piercing the winter clouds

(c) Soen Nakagawa

Krishna's flute

resonates through the mountains -

the cry of an eagle

(c) Chèvrefeuille

bamboo music floats

as the sun breaks through the clouds

snow threat, vanishes

CD 448: puddles

CD 448 puddles

birds, earthworms and bugs

know to look for refreshment

here and there; always

in certain depressions large

or small where the rain collects

a sky reflection

looking up while looking down;

fluid dreams gather

CD 447: Heat, Shimmer

CD 447 heat, shimmer

corona around

last nights almost full pink moon

mirage in the sky

distance of light and time play

tricks on our eyes; myth, folklore

blacks scientific

reasoning as I reach for

the tall telling tale

©JP/davh

A corona round the moon, according to

folklore means the next day will be warm,

maybe even hot.
