Morning Awakenings

morning awakenings:
among window curtains’ flower
a blade of gray sky

another day ends
reaching for the stars and the moon
into the dreamworld

task to create a “crossroads” haiku.

stars and the moon
merge into dream world flowers
morning sky seems gray

morning sun
the twinkle of stars
still in the dew

tabi ni yande yume wa kareno wo kake meguru

falling sick on a journey
my dream goes wandering
over a field of dried grass

~~~

Pandemic lockdown
hospice patients pass
without witness

Autumn walk
decapitated mushrooms
line the path

~~~

Unending rain
Black spot and root rot
Embrace the garden

~~~

Autumn cold
my thoughts swimming
in lemon tea

~~~

Changing seasons
another leave released
to the wind

~~~

autumn tears
an oak tree drowns
in a mushroom cap

~~~

Pandemic scare
my dreams mired
in stagnant pool

~~~

Autumn prayers
a monarch Butterfly lands
on my outstretched hand
