Spring haiku

From a crack in the ice
the water
in motion

Beneath thawed snow
sheltered watered
daffodil says, hello

Blessing of sky
generosity of mountains
rivers have enough to share

Relocated purple lilac
bloomed
in my absence

Purple iris
across the street
first smile of morning

Come back my wanderer lover
April blooms and I
await you

         On flooded road
         glare of headlights
         I squint

November 2015 (sequence)

sitting on the porch
watching
the autumn garden

a few
burnt-red colored leaves
on a branch of blueberry bush

side by side with
yellow flowers
on the last broccoli plant

some green leaves,
one pink flower
on a branch of Rose of Sharon

In Alaska (sequence)

Whisper
Gods’ names
in Alaska

Your whisper
will echo over the land,
the rivers, and the seas

Soon spirits of Natives’ ancestors
will wrap it in songs of birds,
the rustle of trees and Alaskan-breeze

Spirits of Natives
will offer the whisper
to the wind

Traveling-wind
will carry the whisper
to peak of Mount Denali

When halo of cloud turns pink
at the peak
and glides toward the sky

Angels
will deliver the whisper
to Gods at the early dawn
