edge of dawn —
no word from yesterday
tomorrow, too far away

#Haiku #senryu

desolate laughter
of the cold graveyard wind
blowing through the stones

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

foggy nursing home
the grim reaper wobbles in the wind
Halloween trinkets

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

each passing spring
so full of ripening hope
from desolation

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

this desolate night
pumpkin heads waking the dead
children laugh instead

#DailyHaikuPrompt

There was a young girl from Dublin town
who dressed up daily as a circus clown
and she sang a song of joy and mirth
along with her friend of exceptional girth

from first startled cry
to our last breathless groan
entirely alone

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

in the soft light
of your late autumn smiles
I see you so well

#haikuinlove

now — after the storm
even as the high tide turns
it bides its time

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

this soft autumn breeze
and the casual coolness
of the season's shift

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

life's long ebb and flow
our hopes and dreams wash up
upon a distant shore

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

these last ripe fruits
sinking slowly into winter
on cold autumn earth

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

in its last dark days
autumn breaks the subtle bonds
to summers bright light

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

sticky sweet pear juice
drips from children's young chins
bathed in their laughter

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

a new haystack moon
slips through as lovers kiss
unseen by sunlight

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

in this slow decline
as light shifts so gently down
winter takes the crown

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

in late autumn light —
poetry of withered leaves
on the forest floor

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

in the cold wet earth
under dry withered leaves
spring bulbs start to stir

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

each withered word
they fall from your autumn lips
settling in silence

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

morning mist
mushrooms mascarade
as fairy tales

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

young memories ~
climbing a fallen apple tree
and reaching the top

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

the apple harvest
crushed under the cider press
fermenting reality

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

#cidermakesyouwider

an early stem pheasant
struts the apple warm sun
and a fallen silkworm dangles by a thread
crisp catkins sway in the cool field breeze
while mushroom grass and seaweed
spread vivid out along the shore
under foot crunch blossoms crack
and ease the path back home

#DailyHaikuPrompt thanks

dry fallen leaves
gathered up in tight corners
till the next storm

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

yellow willow stems
delicately trail their tips
in the flowing stream

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

spring blossom buds
swell in the late autumn sun
this year's gift to the next

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

it's crunch time
the first thin glaze of ice
on every puddle

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

the vivid thought
of your last ever breath
your last — for ever
and the morning mist gathers on the valley floor
and the autumn geese are calling out on their long journey home

#DailyHaikuPrompt
#Haiku #senryu #tanka

there was a young man from Mars
whose neck was shaped just like a vase
but as he started to sing
what a horrible din
from the flowers that sprout from his chin

so — are you with me now
in these cold tight dark days
to guide my way — for now?

are you with me now
in these long ink stained nights
to place your thoughts with mine

your youth
still stops the years from passing by
for now — just for now
