National Haiku Writing Month 2020


Here are a few of my entries from National Haiku Writing Month (Nahaiwrimo) 2020...


first frost
a thin coat
on the old swing

~

impressions
from a bullet train window
Basho’s world

~

winter breeze
the mandolin man plays
with fingerless gloves

~

glow worms
from my kitchen window
new constellations

~

road trip
little fingers rummage
the snack bag

~

twilight snow
a blue jay settles
on the old oak

~

water music
the old gutter
keeping time

~

summer haze
I dream of butterflies
being me

~

birthday candles
smoke drifts
into a wish

~

train window
my home town streets merge
into autumn gloom

~

camera click
my old haunts captured
in black and white


~

bitter-sweet
beer and chocolate
on Saturday night

~

ice-cold lake
how a stone’s throw
moves mountains

~

after the hail
a sky full
of stars

~

moths
house cat leaps
here and there
