Spring Song
suddenly daffodils,
tulip green lapels
under morning sunlight:
songbirds alight
leafless branches
bursting
with tender tree-buds —
can you hear the voice
of the turtle dove?
my heart pirouettes
with gladness
because the promise remains
unbroken:
morning joy comes
after nighttime
weeping
winter’s dark despair
once again
births a million
almond blossoms.

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
