slow melt

This snowman may look innocent

but there’s mischief in his eye

See that crooked little smile…

you think he might be foreign spy?

Let’s celebrate these days with joy

’til naughty snowman says “goodbye!”

Create a “fusion” haiku from the 2 original haiku for CDHK crossroads…

Waving the pampas grass,
At the Shinjuku station,
I said goodbye.

The migratory birds
Make the wind blowing down to Asaka
From mountains frequently.

pampas grass waving

migrating geese all flown south

fall’s windy goodbye

With precious memories of my husband’s mother, Tillie

languid, slowed-down flight

faded tiger swallowtail

wings frayed, summer’s end

aging farmwife rests

memories bound in wheelchair

mind frays as years pass

love sees the beauty

blond boy sings in gramma’s lap

fray with long goodbye
