Penny's Poetry

Haiku & Senryu

Penny: Since I write so many haiku, I figured they could have their own page. This isn't even remotely every haiku I've written, but my favorites. (Much more of my haiku/senryu can be read in my poetry journal's haiku list or in the Haiku forum of IHoPoets where I moderate.)

in the clear air
over a snow-mantled campus
two crows dance
winter emerges
covers the white car in snow
one red leaf is leftk
a skipping wind
whistles around the eaves, and
helps me into flight
a new crispness
in the crackling air
and the leaves
sunset
day flies away
on golden wings
rustling leaves
a simple serenade
of coming fall
skeletal branches
starlings chitter on landing
silent moment lost
feathered branches sketched
on a canvas of warm blue
in winter's dark ink
looking back on life
will I be able to say
it was worth living?
soaked in sweat
chlorine & water solution
then drip dry
no time nor space
no self nor ego, only
beauty . . . but I blinked
faery lights dance
swirl in the silver waters
until the sun shines
warm blue sky sun
soft wet breezes caress hair
whisper "spring comes"
warm water cascade
washes over blemished skin
feel like a goddess
dry streambed
upstream rocks crumble
inspiration flows back
grey day mist
strange how rain can refresh
drink the thick air
in a still circle
moving clouds reflected
miniature sky
intermittent
rains beat upon the roof
calls to consciousness
a cloudy day
waiting for the sun's return
without you
empty hands
tear(s) drop(s)
of(f) you
amidst windy sobs
stormy tears of fire and salt
uncontrollable
