tourists like ants
swarm to the waterfront
this cool morning

future plans
crouched in a doorway
with your vagrant wish

My last gift for you:
the reason you needed to
close the book, and leave.

cascading water formed an

Lady at the waterfall - Aobram
his graduation
I stop myself from grasping
for a tiny hand
old dog in a chair
the sun a cashmere wrap
around her shoulders
#DailyHaikuPrompt - warm coat

Relaxed she sat at
the waterfront as if she
could shut out the world

Lotus Pose Lady - Aobram
run at dawn and reach
to wrest petaled symmetry
from the calming sky

Winter
Silence falls so deep
there is nowhere left to turn,
other than away.

After sunset the
shower broke off the warmth of
the hot summer day

Twilight Rain - Aobram's sister
evening rain refresh
cooling cleansing quenching quafe
savour each swallow
#dailyhaikuprompt evening rain
#haiku #senryu #poetry #AlliterationNow!
parched soil
the trees stretch upwards
to catch evening rain
#DailyHaikuPrompt (evening rain) #haiku #senryu #poetry #WritingCommunity
dusk is pink steam
and ozone -- its spirit whines
like a dog, but isn't

Pastures I remember
from my youth do exist no more
now it is just grass

Herb-rich Grassland - Aobram
As in a rain dance
She hailed the inrushing clouds
above the grassland

Grassland Beauty - Aobram
air-dancing swallows
dip and dive
the meadow dance floor
