various and sundry - haiku/ senryu

A previous mission trip: Ursula, Colleen, Pat, Kathy, Mary

mission trip

no time to nap

no time to write

[2015]

water hyacinth

its slow twirling

down the bayou

[2015]

a motorcycle

louder than a semi

blasting by

[2015]

spring cold spell

checking on blackberries

I find narcissus

[2014]

the holly tree

I wished for

now higher than the roof

[2015]

between her photinia

and my euonymus

our doorways hidden

[2015]

son and wife visit

she can't know my coffee mug's

from his old girlfriend

[2014]

wedding dress for sale

worn once by mistake

call Mattie Helen

(from email forward of UK want-ads, etc.)

[2012]
