all these cherry blossoms

laughing

At the Pier

The ship, only a tiny white point at the horizon, but she still stands and waves after it. No, she wouldn't cry today! She had sworn it.

So she stands there and waves with his handkerchief, his scent–-unmistakable, alive, and close.

She doesn't feel the gust fo wind coming, suddenly the cloth flies out of her hand, whirls high up, descends again into her direction, and then flutters out to the sea. Eagerly, as if it wants to catch up with the vanishing ship ...

gathering shadows
on an empty shoreline
night falls

wet feed between daffodils

wet feed between daffodils

fugue in concrete

the violets nobody planted

a birds whistle PERFECT

finding a golden coin in mud

self-isolation

cat’s best birthday ever

complex cloud patterns

someone’s new language

drifts high above

wooden terrace

the stupid goldfish jumps

out of his glass again

covid-19 or not

the birch has born

new petals

the spring-like smile

of an empty park bench

footprints leave its dust

spring's blue-ribbon

my superfluous desires

Masters of Japanese Prints: Haiku

Honored to have my haiku selected among 800!!! for the "Masters of Japanese Prints: Haiku" based on Japanese prints in the collection at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, England.

"The project was arranged by haiku poets Alan Summers and Karen Hoy of creative writing consultancy Call of the Page. The call for poems was linked with a haiku workshop delivered at the museum with writer and producer Bertel Martin of City Chameleon. Huge thanks to Alan, Karen, and Bertel as well as to all the poets who took part. You are bringing the world together through poetry."
