Haiku du jour

The air is softer
No longer the nip and tang
That comes with winter.

Haiku du jour

Cherry trees wear white
ice in winter, blooms in spring -
Always elegant.

Conversation for Haiku and Tanka

L:
Olympic primetime
For Pac Coast time zone... really??
14 sleepy days

J:
14 sleepy days
Olympics tire Cali -
Coffee needed now

L:
Caffeine is a must
Olympic nights do exhaust
Make it a venti

Pollen. Olympics.
How will I ever survive?
Read inside eyelids

J:
Painful saffron dust
Reaches into your eyes and
Tells you spring is here -
Your misery keeps you up
As you watch the Olympics.

Haiku du jour 2

Trees line up like brides
Along the road, dressed in white
Perfect lacy snow.

Haiku du jour

The in-laws were drunk,
Bridesmaids wore brown, cars were crashed -
Darling, let's elope.

Haiku du jour 2

Feng shui'd my kitchen
Many extra treasures found
Zen order achieved.

Haiku du jour

Fat flakes flutter down
The world is upholstered white
Time for the big boots.
