Today is the Chinese New Year. It seems fitting to celebrate with a haiku:
~ Fire Rooster ~
The Fire Rooster crows
A shrill warning for the world
Hot summer ahead
Haiku: Last Moonwalker
~ Last Moonwalker ~
Commander Cernan
Final lunar explorer
Leaves terra firma…

Haiku: The Block
~ The Block ~
Fresh hewn square of wood
With clean unadorned surface
How do I start this?

Surface Thoughts
More fleeting than white horses
that rush in the foam,
these sparkling diamonds
dance lightly on wavelets;
a brief but dazzling reflection
of our home star,
their fluttering white brightness
skates untroubled across rippling surface,
paths shaped by ephemeral winds.
Like transient thoughts
they twinkle
when exposed.
No two moments the same.
~Richard
Haiku: Aedes
~ Aedes ~
softly it alights,
a vector of misery.
odious insect
~Richard
