my shadow

making a spectacle

of myself

Previously published in Haiku Harvest

we pause to look
each other in the eye —
dragonfly
if only you were
just as intrigued by me

moonset, autumn 2006

three-headed stranger -
on his shoulders a pumpkin
and a harvest moon

.

double-dribble –
harvest moon hanging
on the rim

.

harvest moon party –  
the hostess stares
at the cloud cover

.

night game –
bocce balls kissing
the harvest moon

- Find lots of Harvest Moon haiku by Issa and the f/k/a Honored Guest Gang:

1. “this moon’s for you!“
2. “more harvest moon haiku“
3. “don’t forget to look up“

 

photo taken w/8 megapix camera while in a moving vehicle - saw this nicely tree-framed
scene w/the fence, horse and background depth scenery and timed it at the
right moment (near Solvang, California).

last game

of the season

extra innings . . .

autumn equinox
not even the mime
can balance the egg

[In mem., Marcel Marceau; tribute at f/k/a]

train whistle

the moon in the puddle

ripples

your hands

the touch of an angel

in the wind

carrying away

my need of vision

equinox

a new teacher

adjusts the globe

like the shell doll
my grandmother bought me
I must be
a child of the ocean,
its ebb and flow, ebb and flow
