HAIKU - Yearn

Longing, lusting, want.

Heart's desire, love on fire;

Burning, I love you.

Typhoon

Typhoon drowns

Lashing sounds

Coming at my window

All curled up

Won’t wake up

And see what is outside

Mud and rain,

Puddles again

I can’t walk down the stairs.

So much water

Wet slaughter

My crops have been smothered

Shovel and clean

Does it mean

We push through and survive?

Heavy winds,

Clattering dim

I hope my house is strong.

Fingers crossed

Wrapped up warm

I’m counting till it’s gone.

HAIKU - Chime

Suddenly loud sounds

Wake me from my deep slumber

Heavily ringing.

HAIKU - Winter

Feet buried in snow

Icy cold, fingers frozen

Cold blizzard blowing.

pot luck

Remember, not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful store of luck!

Getting what you want is like having free credit there!!

I am the sunflower.

A small plant, I begin;

Green, small leaves and so thin.

I will grow so tall soon.

I am the sunflower.

I rise up every day.

Best to plant me in May.

See my big leaves just grow.

I am the sunflower.

Watch leaves suddenly appear,

Higher, Higher, I sear.

Sunshine makes me happy.

I am the sunflower.

Yellow, is my round face

Standing high, full of grace.

Petals round, one big smile.

I am the sunflower.

In fields I stand with friends,

With our joy, happiness we spread.

Tell the sunshine to ne'er stop.

I am the sunflower.

Sudd'nly, my leaves turn black.

Dry weather, no water, soil cracked.

Stopping head down in shame.

I am the sunflower.

One big chop, goodbye stem.

My summer is over once again.

Fear not friend, I shall return, for

I am the sunflower.

I don't even know you

I don't even know you,
Yet, today you made me smile.

I don't even know you,
But I can move one step forward.

You wrote a few words
They weren't even heard,
But they didn't go unnoticed.

How do I thank you?
A stranger?
A friend?
The support I needed to get to the end.

I don't even know you,
I can't even thank you,
Not directly anyhow.

I don't even know you,
But I certainly won't forget you.
