Been away for a bit! Waking up at 3am feels like perfect time to catch up on some #haikufeels

Waking in darkness
The midnight moon unclouded
A mist-withered moor

Bleakening branches
Leaves given to the gallows
A bough-bound crow caws

A bone yellow moon
In the marrow of the night
Howling at myself

Take what's left of me
Cottonwood crumpled footprints
Tatters to tatters

Silver maiden grass
Can’t camouflage the crickets
The end of green stems

Rancor! Rancor! My
Rage sings its rancor - DON'T YOU
TREAD ON MY FLOWERS!

The autumn torn trees
Can a spirit be splintered?
Weeping yellow-red

A splinter in the soul takes ten tweezings to tear out.

The maples half-turned;
A morning glory aglow:
We're fighting the frost

Wild geese feasting
A beach filled with wing-washing

200th Post! Thank you everyone for your community, inspiration, and kindness!

An old pond
A frog jumps in;
The sound of water

-Matsuo Bashō (1686)

On Haiku and the Great Mystery:

Waves and clouds vanish…
Speaking of impermanence?—
Frogs jump into ponds

Glad it’s not “into glass” 😆

Guessing it’s a reflection?- 🤔

Or maybe trying to figure/explain out haiku is “for the birds” 😅🐦
