micro poetry

A collection of Haiku and Senryu. Most are shorter than 5-7-5

Behold the night sky

Humble moon and distant stars

A canvas of dreams

 

The poet shivers

Feeling under the weather

Haiku! Gesundheit.

 

sixty years

i know nothing

still, the sun rises

 

cobwebs

drape the moon

in silk

 

leaves

raked in piles

more leaves

 

alone, I see

a universe of stars

even more

 

dishes

fill the sink

an empty castle

 

walking i see

the first winter snow, perfect

but for my footprints

 

a child’s kite

lifted by the breeze

as expected

 

autumn leaves

Colors of Benetton

on the house

 

pennies

   dance

      in the dryer

 

the breeze

also lifts

a kite

morning

   light

     at once

I really enjoy the way the lines fall into one another - the second stanza is extremely clever too - a great read man
