picnic

sophia's hand are a blur. her shrieks can be heard from the other side of the river bank where an old fisherman looks slightly annoyed, yet the wasp does not stop.
the strawberry juice that covers her lips consume its senses

a slow line is cast
yet the trout watches
fallen fruit

#haibun #haiku

the ritual

days pass slowly, the dustbin creaks under the weight of it.
my hands age from washing interminable cutlery.
the house is quiet now. children dream of gifts, maybe the adults too.
through a crack in the curtain i watch the world

dawn breaks into mist
a robin's song
stirs the silence

holding on
through the autumn breeze
the last ripe apple

#dailyhaikuprompt #ripe
#haiku #micropoetry

rising late
the low sun
persists

#haiku #micropoetry

air so crisp
even the water stops
to breathe

#dailyhaikuprompt #crisp
#haiku #micropoetry

despite the warm sun
somewhere upstream
a leaf fell

#dailyhaikuprompt #warmsun
#haiku #micropoetry

an old apple
lying on the ground
surrounded by birds

#dailyhaikuprompt #fallen
#haiku #micropoetry

all year round
my bright blossom
plastic plant

#senryusunday #senryu
#dailyhaikuprompt #blossom

summer fields
now stand empty
the lonely wind

#dailyhaikuprompt #field
#haiku #micropoetry

Thank you ✨

swirling mist
a fox on the path
momentarily

#dailyhaikuprompt #misty
#haiku #micropoetry

on an empty path
a ghostly coronation
autumn winds

#dailyhaikuprompt #ghost
#haiku #micropoetry

autumn pie
golden apples
flour spills

#dailyhaikuprompt #flour
#haiku #micropoetry

yellow leaves
summer fallen
at my feet

#dailyhaikuprompt #yellowleaves
#haiku #micropoetry

patterns in the frost
inner thoughts
revealed

#dailyhaikuprompt #frost
#haiku #micropoetry

broken moonlight
intermittent drizzle
and the fox

#dailyhaikuprompt #drizzle
#haiku #micropoetry

cliff top approach
no beach at high tide
shooting stars

#dailyhaikuprompt #hightide
#haiku #micropoetry

low sun
behind the quivering leaves
muffled laughter

#dailyhaikuprompt #laughter
#haiku #micropoetry

Thank you ✨

I recall that day
your hand guiding mine
building sandcastles

#senryusunday #senryu

low tide
the sunset
wanders away

#dailyhaikuprompt #lowtide
#haiku #micropoetry

in the undergrowth
piles of fallen leaves
fleeting footsteps

#dailyhaikuprompt #footsteps
#haiku #micropoetry

above the gray clouds
the sound of geese
moving on

#dailyhaikuprompt #geese
#haiku #micropoetry

autumn's touch
in my hand
a leaf crumbles

#dailyhaikuprompt #touch
#haiku #micropoetry

in a glass bowl
an autumn crocus
watches the leaves fall

#dailyhaikuprompt #crocus
#haiku #micropoetry

cascades of sunlight
for just a moment
the clouds part

#dailyhaikuprompt #cascade
#haiku #micropoetry

the waning moon
scattered hay bales
and harvest mice

#dailyhaikuprompt #harvest
#haiku #micropoetry

late morning
a butterfly fades
before the moon

#dailyhaikuprompt #morning
#haiku #micropoetry

Absolutely brilliant ✨
