dawn blazes ridge
burning moon aglow,
when i look back
wind leaped from us
over canyon walls
 
snowed quietly
the entire night,
by morning
the world was still
...weighted down

last year's calendar

dawn sky
still, this one
bright star

TANKA
 
not tilling
body furrows; hidden
breaths buried
not burning, not bearing
between the two of us

feeling lonely
shadow in water
a duck passes by

Kyoka Mad Poems

all the blue
tortilla chips are gone---
full moon
 
Fred Masarani

a new morning-
spread your wings and fly
oh, sad memorries
 
worn, yet, determined
all march in the direction
of war-free world
 
oh, kite-fly and fly
but beware of bombs
from this nuclear sky
 
a rare rainbow
is glowing on the horizon
one dream far.....................away

Midnight sky
sudden cry

Ash Wednesday
a boy's wet finger
drawing Playmate tits

Simply Haiku

cumulus overhead-
three palms seem to touch
the sky
 
dawn's moon
in the distance
the sound of roosters

Senryu
 
the sound of
marbles clacking
fish games?
 
bright afternoon
a fish tail wiggling
out of a shell

Burnt Leaves
 
For all I've done
all I've left undone-- late
autumn's massed clouds
 
A combined stench
of burnt leaves and beer--the town's
rifle range
 
Autumn cuts short
this painful life:  a palmistry
book's illustrations
 
Autumn downpour
a handful of tablets
to subdue grief
 
Welcoming me home--
the shotgun barrel's coldness
stiffens my fingers
 
Carl Brennan

an ant inside
my slipper
survives a brisk night

My cask of Summer
wine almost empty
the slow,  slow dripping

on foot
no roads
only wind paths
 
fall's fiery glow
cloud's underbelly
and bright branch tips

Firefly

Twilight clouds-
a puff of dandelion
drifting down...
