Haiku for lredd
***
wind rustling daisies
who wants to taste the sky's blue
me me one shouts back
haiku for an Anonymous one
the cynic may ask
what is held in open hands
the shape of kindness
haiku for trudie
golden protein strands
hair's breadth from omnipresent
clearly gnome mischief
Haiku for someone you can't see
tell me have you seen
an invisible mongoose
fey snakes are about
Tanka for Alexandra
small beyond telling
lights discarded or misplaced
culled for their sameness
later they will ask why us
dear ones so I could love you
Haiku for Daphne
time was home and life
grew from one plot so I will
retrieve that moment
Haiku for an Anonymous hero
my hands turn as keys
opening the passageways
through which life journeys
Haiku for Maggi
flowers are the breath
my garden draws to whisper
earth's secrets to me
