Haiku (Modern): Hermit

Winter’s moon
Sole silver soul —
hermitage

Haiku (Modern): Shock!

Shock of the new
Are you still dreaming?
Spring comes early

Copyright Francis 2021

Expendable pawns
Retreat a symptom of loss —
Then the Master turns

Copyright Francis 2021

Sometimes so alone
Press on with hope in your heart
A clearing ahead

Seeming is not truth
Every thing has its time —
We must wait for spring
