April Blend

Back on the net from my aunty duties. Happy to have one more poem published. Catching up. Again.


NaHaiWriMo
April 9th - sound

music for her ears,
better than all symphony -
her baby laughing


April 10th - zoo

house full of children,
now singing "happy Birthday!" -
my domestic zoo


April 11th - underwater

underwater stones -
travelers watching the lake,
their image transformed


April 12th - clown

crying 
tears of happiness -
a clown


April 13th - miss/missing

admiring tulips
from near the garden's white fence -
missing hyacinth


April 14th - pond

swung by April wind 
cherry tree blossoms petals -
the pond in pink coat


April 15th - alley 

watching the alley,
since two centuries ago
silent gargoyle eyes


April 16th - wildflower/weed

her smile, sun colored -
snatching weeds from her garden
April morning task


April 17th - mushrooms

after short spring rain,
a blue butterfly resting 
on a small mushroom


April 18th - antique

family heirlooms,
her silver filigree rings -
her girl's antique toy



Carpe Diem
April 16th - finally spring

from the angry clouds
after a short April rain,
finally spring sun

 
April 17th special - lonely flower

messanger of spring
among the budding branches
a cherry blossom

wild field inscence 
scattered in the April wind -
lonely violet

this April evening
first magnolia blossom,
my sole companion


April 17th - small mountain

to dodge the spring rain
after dragging a bread crumb -
inside the anthill


April 18th - threnody

funerary song
honoring the memory
of long lasting love

under April clouds
in a cherry blossom rain
sad sky threnody

thunders and lightings -
angels' laments for their lives,
a last song for them

  4. Beautiful trail! Wonderful sign on your blog also, by the way, against the false 5-7-5 patrol!
    Hard to say which haiku has mot impact there, the middle of the threnody beautiful, and the ones featuring pink blossoms and/or pond. Looking forward to see what you do with the 'Treasure'!
