tanka

sleepless
I struggle to imagine
what the bird looks like
that makes these
awkward screams

----
not really a stone but, eh ...

haiku

this foot, that foot
along an empty road -
winter dusk

haiku

cold morning -
blackbird pirking
at frozen apples

haiku

rain ::: those nameless waters

haiku

sleepy village
red dots of holly berries
dangling

haiku

dusting off
the crawling goutweed
to welcome the sun

haiku

cold North Wind
in and out of my sleeves -
my jello-determination

haiku

lingering mist
branches hung
with water-pearls

haiku

ice cold Monday
my grandsons first day
tucked in his mothers arms

haiku

ring around the moon
I help my mother cross
the icy pavement

haiku

january
at the super more offers
on slimming products

senryu

waning moon -
entertainment deaths on tv
down to 30

haiku

thin ice
on the fish pond
the cautious steps of a seagull

haiku

full moon
and not a thing
to do about it

gogyohka

ice-free roads
two boys racing
their new bicycles
through the puddles -
pants of mud

haiku

rain
the small-talk of waters
reuniting

haiku

in and out of the mist
sparrows and chaffinches

haiku

jumping apples
I try to feed my grandchild

haiku

hip-hop lingo - the toddler pointing at ducks

haiku

from within the mist
slow clangs of church bells
death moves unseen

haiku

Scandinavian winter
the sun plays
hide and hide

haiku

flock of starlings
jabbering, jabbering
”this way, that way, this way, that way”

haiku

a new planet -
already my dustbag is full

haiku

midwinter -
bell of the ice-cream truck
extra persistant

haiku

morning twilight
the shape of things
falling into place

haiku

hard to put a finger on, this fog

----
a little fog-theme here

senryu

a royal birth
the media goes into
sugary overdrive

haiku

rain -
one seagull
then nothing

haiku

winter funeral
mourners stumbling
through snowdrifts

haiku

melting snowdrift
back wheel of my bicycle
uncovered

haiku

january
still posters
announcing Christmas concerts

haiku

carpet of snow
needs a bit of hoovering
round the bird feeder

haiku

first workday
of the new year -
extra garbage trucks

haiku

after New Year
reduced prizes
on paper hats

haiku

a wheel barrel full
of burned out fireworks
gloomy afterparty

haiku

snow receding
the head of Buddha
greets the new year

haiku

stormy New Year -
fireworks flying
all over the place

gogyohka

first day
of a new year
born in showers of fireworks -
hopefully
we didn't frighten it
