As promised, send me your poetry (Haiku) and I will post it. The surprising and delightful thing is I received poetry from all ages and from as far away as India and Argentina. It’s only fitting that we begin with one from the master.
Untitled (Bashô, Japan)
- the first cold shower;
- even the monkey seems to want
- a little coat of straw.
To enjoy life… (María del Carmen Chiappero, Argentina)
The lovely sun shines,
the wind blows by the window,
an old sweet song sounds.
With a melody,
Many melancholy words
leave a deep meaning.
We´re “dust in the wind”.
We´re all part of this giant big world,
but we´re very small.
Moments don’t come back
life goes on now, step by step
Then let´s enjoy life.
Miraculous (Noelle, a fellow author. USA)
Spiders’ sticky webs
God’s miraculous design
Sparkling with bright dew
Take a break every day ( María del Carmen Chiappero, Argentina)
Take a break today…
Watch and enjoy the landscape,
walk and breathe deeply.
Take a break today…
A beautiful song sounds near,
dance as you like it.
Take a break today…
Paint your work with the colours,
hear your heart wishes.
Take a break today…
Smile and sing an easy song,
imagine the best.
Enjoy each moment,
observe the beauty of life.
Take a break always
Candylickious (Charles, 6yrs old*USA)
Strawberry cone melts
I lick around and around
the world’s best candy
Coco the Hot Dog (Chesley, 9, USA)
The silky seal slithers
under the warm bed covers
curling for a nap
The smell that bought back memories (Sneha RV, 7th Grade, India)
An acquainted scent…
That of soft, wet mud stepped on..
Oh! The good old days
Morning Guest (Kate, 43, USA)
Outline of window
blazes white hot, lighting the floor
the sun’s bright, brief kiss
Bengali Women (Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty, India)
Bengali women squatting
Pitchers, bangles,gossips
The river Barak indifferent
September Haiku (Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty, India)
Birds yellow
Tree of life
A painting
Fall Opens the Door (Renku/Haiku/Trisha Sugarek, USA)
morning sun dapples
trees in a polka-dot dress
shines soft green and light
chill hint of autumn
smells of summer, loam, and pause
visions of winter
sap returns from leaves
to store deep in the tree heart
yellow, red, orange, burnt

Here is a short haiku I wrote about spiders, in response to one of Jemima Pett’s Thursday haikus:
