awake before sun

constellations blinking bright

cows’ hungry eyes shine

Watching grand daughters and trying out NEW editor app on phone.   Thanks, WordPress 🤓  …does anyone have a “grandma” app?!

Chèvre at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai challenges us to write “fusion troiku”: combine two classic haiku into one, then use for first lines of haiku series of three…

before the white chrysanthemum

the scissors hesitate

a moment

calligraphy of geese

against the sky—

the moon seals it

scent of cut blossom —

moon, like white chrysanthemum,

pale against dark sky

scent of cut blossoms

wafts delicate from altar

…fresh bridal bouquet

moon, like a white mum,

blooms full at summer solstice;

signs written in spheres

pale against dark sky

—revelations’ seven seals—

groom rides on white horse

i am not a beast

i am not genderless

i am not invincible

i am not a victim

i am not innocent

i am not perfect

i am not alone

i am a holy breath

i am engendered

i am vulnerable

i am an overcomer

i am forgiven

i am in process

i am connected
