2010-04-05 haiku and haiga

***

fragile blue moonlight
delicately she outlines
gifts you made to me

***

floating in water
the sea inside and outside
ebbing and flowing

***

a girl at window
she holds something in her hands
a stranger walks past

***

***

child beachcomber
collects cork, shells, driftwood
she makes sculptures

***

with chimes of laughter
the air aswarm with fairies
dancing in sunbeams

***

in early morning
soft mists embracing the hills
keeping sun sleeping

***

***

drifting in with waves

the sea shells she remembered
from so long ago

***

watching sea creatures
drifting past for a long while
in her hand sea shells

***

longed to return home
shell necklace kept memory
from drifting away

***

***

with length'ning shadows
the shimmering ghost of night
folds arms round the world

***

raven flew away
forked branch of the tree
reaches for the moon

***

winter's bare bleakness
gives way to buds on all trees
waiting for blossoms

***

***

never satisfied

it's never enough

the ego wants more

***

those scented flowers
remind me of you
purple wallflowers

***

sticky fine dew-dropped
net reaching across dark sky
holding life's essence

***

Iridescent eye
flaring orange; white pupil
gazes from above

***
