Moon in the water
A breath of air through the leaves
Ripples at my feet

Haiku: Ripple
Tag: breath
Haiku: Cold Breath
And where do I walk?
My body follows the mind –
cold breath returning
Haiku: Shadow
Sleep – and there is death
the ever silent shadow
Living is the breath

Tanka: Media Dispelled!
I am still breathing
The sun still rises each day
I am sovereign;
There’s nothing between nature
and me – media dispelled!

The Spinner
A web clings
with limpid fragility
to the fractured sapling,
timorous in air’s breath,
long left by the spinner
of autumn’s lair
