gray days
along the sea wall
this chronic ocean sound

[𝙻𝚊𝚏𝚌𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚘 💙 @lafcadiopoetry]

I thought
it was your footsteps
on my porch
it was my own tread
trying to follow you

buttery shine
of late summer sun
the mares have disappeared
from the pasture
the tall grasses go on breathing

[roger jones ☕️☕️ @Haibunation]

barefoot
on a dusty road
in bee light
he stops to pick
one more blackberry

[roger jones ☕️☕️ @Haibunation]

without a hat
a winter rain falls on me
so what

—Basho

minor chords
mingling
with deepest hope
wrapped in golden
Silence~

[roger jones ☕️☕️ @Haibunation]

the old past—
how it can rattle my mind;
here I am
in the bright summer light
yet still I sense the ghosts

[roger jones ☕️☕️ @Haibunation]

big spools
of still green hay
across the wide pasture
sunlight & shadow
thatched along the highway

[𝙻𝚊𝚏𝚌𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚘 💙 @lafcadiopoetry]

autumn wind
scattering leaves
in the graveyard
I whisper my secrets
to your tombstone

so easy to please she’s
ecstatic
over a cloud bank,
jubilant at tiny snowflakes
the dancing by her windows

[𝙻𝚊𝚏𝚌𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚘 💙 @lafcadiopoetry]

in the flick
of a red robin's eye
the crouched cat
reminds us of the simple
pleasures in this brief life

A shadow sorts
nervousness moored
hark caw of wayward gull.

knitting --
under her eyes eyelashes make
autumn shadows

Milky Way
walking alone
down this long path
home towards
the warm porch lights

[Beez Laine @beezknez]

all day long
blow flies buzz bees buzz
planes split air
