by the ditch
half-full of silver rain water
where badger dug
the sod is greening
shoot-speckled

Dawn
winter morning broken
no ice on water butts
to break
but wind from the east
sharp-toothed its wild gallop
Tree dance
I was very much impressed by this photo by Paul Militaru.
water rises
fires burn
trees dance either way
embracing flame
and flood
Flood gogyohka
Gales, rain and sirens, but not the singing kind. We’re not in the flood plain…
sirens sound again
as the river rises
and flood waters spread
we listen to the rain
and the ditches running
Christmas gogyogka
For Frank Tassone’s haikai challenge. No doubt the first of many responses.

it’s Christmas
I tell the birds on the feeder
putting out more seed
oh, they say
and clean up as usual
Solstice gogyohka
the longest night
blown in on a gale
dawn broken
to sheets of rain
no sunrise to claim the victory
Wind gogyohka
wind pours
a cascade
from the ocean sky
sweeping leaves birds and branches
in its flood.
