A ship of sheared sheep

chasing my integrity

I engulf all broken

remains of self

from pilgrim basket

with jagged sorrow…

. . . .

Every sheared sheep

starts over/rushes in

the swirling water

smelling at distance

the huge field

of juicy grass

makes just head swim

building fearful grimace

grows more wool

missing the wise advice:

slow & steady wins…

. . . .

chasing my integrity

I engulf all broken

remains of self

from pilgrim basket

with jagged sorrow…

Sail your smile in the air *

'Sail Boats' by Valda Fitzpatrick ~ pinterest.com

When early cheerful birds break the eggshell of morning

routinely mingle with clock’s ‘tick-tock’, - the bustle enliven me, even if I’ve been drinking only one cup of coffee yet lit   up lavender candle with late regret of suspended moment…

When early cheerful birds scattered to first morning class,

the school attendant, not placid crow cowing - proclaims silence – the rain desired before, dies… leaving nondescript grey remnants in air to the discretion of magpie tales and quirks….

Along with birds

Mimicking “I’m great” pose,

I sail my smile in the air…

* Note: the title - the line from the poem by Kahlil Gibran

On the spot

'Raven flying home' by Lindsey Kustusch

*

Nondescript grey day

Under the raven’s wing -

A puddle.

**

A puddle

Mirroring a placid sky –

The quirky life.

May be May

~ 1~

To complete

One leap

Over the sea

~2~

O, how iridescent

I rise in the morning

Face iris glory

~3~

Dandelion’s dream

Among enlightened hearts

A prodigy child

~4~

May happens too fast

Green grass stems graduation

Feast pass over fall

~5~

Left out in the woods

All five senses departed

Besides haiku mode

~6~

They are full of wisdom

Burning to the end of days

Misread the blooming

~7~

Discovery time

Bifurcated Yin & Yang

Lead in Scarborough

~8~

Shadows are dreaming

What if we tame the clouds

Embraced by sky light

~9~

Jagged life path

Thirst brought you here

My intimate friend

Note: Most of  haiku here inspired by art of  Kumiharu Shimizu
