Love Haiku 1:3
1
time of plum blossoms
you hold my hand as we stroll
fragrance fills the air
2
love letter arrives
so many moons I waited
bamboo leaves quiver
3
you cast a pebble
a ripple born in waters
drowns in blue ocean

mutton stew with wine
red flames dance the flamenco
tango you and i
8
rain beads on branches
pearls of tears sparkle at night
break of dawn brings joy
9
songbirds warble still
defy the winter starkness
crocus bulbs awake
10
frost on blue mountain
Li Po drinks his wine again
where to go from here

Warmth of July
At dusk
while fireflies glow like woven
golden threads upon a cloak
of imperceptible periwinkle,
honeysuckle
intermingles with magnolia
and lavender fragrances —
frogs croak,
intoxicated by beauty
of lotus white blossoms,
join the orchestra of children’s laughter
as barefoot feet
tiptoe
upon crust of earth
and teeming grass —
warmth of July
when for a season’s moment
all is green and ardent
under the ancient sun.
