Quote from my husband in reference to a game we were playing.

whether right or wrong
come to a decision quick
that's just how it is

Of course he had to wait even longer for my turn as I had to stop to write down what he said. He may not like poetry, but I think he has a poets heart.

an ox, fox and mare
walk into a bar one night
the bartender says ...

ak

we're covered in snow
reminds me of Christmas tales
keeps me warm inside

A summers morning
Hedges draped with silver gown
A spiders art work?

This majestic gown
Is it a web of deceit?
Woven in disguise?

Just to catch some flies?
Or to make our human eyes
See where nature lies?

Each a masterpiece
diamonds everywhere
spun in moonlit night...........

We interrupt for this important message:

a summer morning
hedges sit with silver gown
a spider at work?

Beautiful.

Thank you liz .you made my day....

the smiling rainbow
forgiving tears of the sky
some people cant see

[I love your visions, Jimbo... and, yes, I'm very familiar with that morning magic. I also like very much your take on the rainbow.]

Back to haiku...

When the sunset falls
silhoetting my lover
I could die like that

the setting sun casts
us into the shadow cave
of our secret love

daylight weakening
stars begining to twinkle
will we close our eyes

is there anyone here
who can write happy haikus
dont leave me alone

Haiku's
that make me happy
written long ago


Under the cherry tree,
eating soup, fish and vegetables
with petals scattered on them

Basho


Wading through a stream
in summer, carrying my sandals.
How delightful!

Buson


The cat sleeps. It gets up.
It gives a great yawn.
And off it goes now to make love!

Issa

kk
