winter night —
looking for my glasses
with my glasses

 

 

shiki (eyewear)

a knock at the door —
these old bones that just won’t
go

 

 

shiki (new year visitor)

moving poems

 

 

about a year ago, I turned thirteen of my haiku into video haiku.
much to my surprise, three have found their way to moving poems.
it’s a nice place to be.

 

thank you, mr. bonta!

long night —
we bring home a growler
of pumpkin ale

 

 

shiki (gourd)

dark moon
those tiny feet
scurry

fleeing sparrows —
perhaps all soft words
fade

 

 

shiki (goodbye)
Gnarled Oak (starting small)

sunflowers —
it’s hard to imagine
the snow

 

 

shiki (sunflower)

sweet-scented wind —
the weight of this basket
on my arm

raccoons —
I’ve been sleeping
in the spare room

 

 

shiki (hut)

after the rain this buzzbuzzbuzz in my ear
