layer of pine nuts
sprinkled over cake batter,
ready for the flame

#haiku #poem #poetry #spring

the lengthening days
play at matching my senses
they feel much longer

#haiku #poem #spring

the window outside
twigs and branches prepare
tranquil, studious

#haiku #poem #spring

briefly, flight
before tumbling downwards-
a tossed kite

#haiku #poem #spring

disappointed, trite
seeds sown are never enough
no sprouts to be seen

#haiku #spring #seeds #poetry

spring sunbeams pelt us
through the window, slow cooking,
making hearts tender

#haiku #poem #poetry #spring

shoes still stained with salt,
do I wish for thunderstorms
to wash it away?

dust settles
a Spring cleaning is
in order

#haiku #spring #poetry

snow melts before long.
it reaches the ground, puddles
we step over them

#haiku #poem #poetry #spring

an earthworm flounders
on the dry driveway pavement,
fleeing flooded soil

#haiku #poem #spring

thanks!

driving window-down
hair tousled by the current
spring rains on the way

you bet it’s a dump, these STINK

Ash Wednesday arrives,
what do I choose to give up?
what thaws out my heart?

#haiku #poetry #spring

sun obscured by fog,
lingering snow can only
imagine its warmth

#haiku #poem #spring

deep fog sits
on frozen river
each, boundless

#haiku #poetsky #winter

glittering frost
covers the entirety
of the van

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

the window
makes me too warm
outside, snow

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

deceptively
the ground invites treading
slick with sleet

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

spring draws ever near
what song will the birds still sing
when the stage is set?

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

blackened snow
begging for the sun
to shine down

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

smudging the sky
just behind the empty trees
contrails

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

fraught
the rabbit finds its burrow
frozen shut

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

caught in the snow
with sunlight and shadows
footprints

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

痛む胸
君、雲隠れ
冷える指

Itamu muné
Kimi, kumogakuré
Hieru yubi

Aching chest
(Since) you hid behind the clouds
Fingers getting cold

#vss365 : ache
(Classic case of the translation feeling very disjointed compared to the original 😅)

icicle
stretching forward, clawing
towards what?

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

scattered words
like ashes flicked, snow drifts
fall from rooftops

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

what doorways
have opened in my heart
by your laugh?

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter #february #valentine

sincere hearts
giving only what they have
nothing more

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter #February #valentine

radio broadcast
claims the snow will be melting,
a grey tomorrow
