Joie de Vivre (This Print entitled "Colestin" is available at TurningArt.com by Byron Dudley)

(An example of of Poekuagery)

summer's green River

(sprawling shenanigans)

frolics on hills      as clouds peek

(over a foliage blanket)

scent   of a cool breeze

(mountain meadows      Colestin)

A Haiku for Hokusai's "Thirty Six Views of Mt Fuji" #22

HAYAUMA (Sumidagawa Sekya no sato/Sekiya Village on the Sumida River)

a conifers view

natures gnarled beauty

eschews the plumline

Hiking the PCT

Dusk's fog dissipates

headlamps?      voices?

blighted      solitude

A red dragonfly

dyed      in a sunset

still      in autumn's dusk

Journeying

into the great red north

cold      warmth      a bYSS!

    

Thinking of home (an example of Poekuagery)

Conifers blooming

(Pines, ferns, moss, beeming)

foliage soirees       Beatles!   ?

(dissipated   needle trysts)

enervate old stands

(Aki   embracing falling needles - lying - rising from a forest floor)

From my book "JIKU"

My life ebbing

A faucet leaks in a sink

full it overflows

A heavy paraphrasing

In solitude

a suent road   less traveled

know it well I do

Curtain clouds abate

 

projecting Autumn's twilight

sojourning moonbeams

crackling awake     old growths

stare up and contemplate
