A cold afternoon
By the Potomac River
Yellow butterflies
Month: December 2019
Today’s Haiku
A pond full of mud
Above the water’s surface
The lotus flower

Today’s Haiku
In Kamakura
Tourists and locals spinning
The big prayer wheel
Today’s Haiku
Above the dark sky
A great firmament of stars
And the brightest one
Today’s Haiku
In the hot desert
The time does not seem to fear
The great tree of life
Today’s Haiku Dec. 22, 2019
Under the dark sky
Splashing in the wavy bay
The pink flamingos
Today’s Haiku
The earth is shaking
In this rainy Tokyo
I am standing still
Today’s Haiku
A dove on a rail
A hot summer afternoon
The cool deep blue pool
Today’s Haiku
The colorful pirate ship
Sails on Lake Ashi
The snow-covered hills
