unnerving silence
bleached bones exposed upon sand
lone vulture circles
inviting silence
milky way stars spilled on sky
holiness hovers
My scribbles in the sand on “inviting silence” theme at CDHK today.

Plum blossoms, ume-no-hana, are frequent haiku theme and signal the end of winter (source: Carpe Diem Haiku Kai).
lovers find wild plums
sweet blossoms fade to tart fruit
overlook sharp thorns

sharp horns of winter

white sky is falling
stars of perfect symmetry
snowflake on black scarf
mid-winter settles
temps dive under sun’s cold glare
icicles shiver
blue shadows stretch long
diamonds blanket our deep sleep
home fire’s sweet slow burn

winter pond freezing
young duckling missed migration
white swan escapes ice

we’re all refugees
orphans searching for hearts’ home
when peace cries last tears
