1 haiku

winter moon wanes—
reluctantly
holiday lights come down


2 haiku

candlelight
sets the emerald wicks
of my medication aglow


3 haiku

winter morning stillness—
a crow calls
between echos among the pines


4 haiku

sun setting from below,
rain-gorged clouds ablaze—
this short day of winter


5 haiku

early morning—
half dressed by a window
gazing at frost on the cars


6 haiku

reading me his haiku—
steam from our morning tea
fogging his glasses


7 tanka

lying together,
he admires
how small the scar
where
a kidney once was


8 tanka

showing off my new lingerie
I pause,
he smiles and says
"there's nothing wrong
with my heart"


9 tanka

a cloudless sky
on this blustery day,
inviting the sun's warmth
and a knowing reach,
I open my coat


10 haiku

after a night's rain
more than one moon
A set of 7 haiku and 3 tanka about the days and moments before and after a special homecoming.

:new: I've added a lovely preview piece featuring a photograph taken by Kelsi Nullibicity
Japan Pictures 14 by Nullibicity who was so kind and gave me permission to use the image, which was then treated to look like a delicate watercolor, and finished with a font of an Asian feel, with a rich shade of color, and defined with thin, interior bordering to finish the effect by collaborating with the talented John RetroZombie who has always been able to translate my ideas & visions to perfection, and who's efforts made the finished image possible. 

John, and Kelsi, my admiration and thanks to you both for your generosity!
