Udito

Resting on my chest
lifted up and down slowly
you finally sleep.

Fall Haiku

Sticking on the car
messengers of what to come
little drops of ice.

wet leaves Haiku

Running miles and miles
nothing intrudes my thoughts but
the smell of wet leaves.

red clouds far away
a crow fighting a hawk in
a crystal clear sky.

travel tanka

some lights strawn across
black valleys between dark hills
travelling the night
one can see through tree branches
in all shades of grey and black.

Alina Haiku

Single notes like drops
weave a net around silence
heart soothing beauty.

Rainy Night Haiku

Rain rustling on leaves
the whole night a constant sound
my bed soft and warm.

Blue sky white speckled
the first flocks of birds forming
on days sudden short.

Fall Haiku

Red, yellow and brown
spots on hills in shades of green
in crystal clear air.

Eye color Haiku

I look in your eyes
and you welcome me all love
what color are they?

Duddeldiddeldo

you look so fragile
when i carry you to your bed
asleep in my arms.

Looking into my past Senryu

Walking old places
I see that not only me
but all has changed.

Haiku Senryu

Whom do i attract
with a blog of small poems
describing my world?

Fall Morning Haiku

It is still dark while
i go to work today and
dew covers leaves.

Early Fall Haiku

Late morning i see
huge flocks of birds gather
on empty brown fields.

No Sleep Haiku

To tired to feel
thoughts fleeting my hazed mind
I slow down the world.

Swimming Haiku II

Muscular, slim, vain,
tall, chubby, bald are on stage
in the men's shower.

Just breathing Haiku

Breathing slowly makes
my chest heaving up and down
all senses alert.

Oak's Haiku

Each with a loud pop
many thousands acorns drop
blend in with the ground.

Teen Aly Haiku

Walking in mild sun
i enjoy talking with you
like with an adult.

Ally Haiku

Still weak from illness
you try learning in the sun
my brave little girl.

Emergency Room Haiku

Pale oily faces
waiting for help patiently
sit before tiled walls.

Pam Haiku

A sleepy strech and
again i realize how
beautiful you are.

Meet me Haiku

The outcome of this
five hundred pounders meeting
is a lot of dung.

Bathroom Night Haiku

Shirt on a hanger,
tie, boxers and socks on top -
tommorow can come.

Soothing Green Haiku

Rain covers asphalt
with tree blossoms of white green
soothing for my eyes.

Do i live right Haiku

For writing haiki
i need to watch something be
but my mind is to full.

A Day to Full Haiku

Thoughts coming to mind
back and back again today
no room for a haiku.

Hair stirring Haiku

Goosebumps in the shade
of trees when i cross the path
of a mighty boar.

Rustling Rain Haiku

When on many leaves
millions tiny raindrops fall
rustling fills my world.

Evening on the balcony Haiku

Stars on a dark sky
and shadows dance on the wall
from flickering candles.

Summer Clouds Haiku

Hazy stripes of sun
against dark blue and grey clouds;
holes like wounds of light.

Finally Summer Again Haiku

Glistening river,
a table stands in front with
water, bread and soup.

Wild Park Haiku

You feed herbs to deer
little arm far through the fence
leave by leave, smiling.

The chills Haiku

Bare feet on cold floor;
it is raining on and off:
a cold late summer.

Too short Evening Haiku

Wind moves the curtains
little eyes in the dark ask
to stay up with me.

Late night Haiku

You all are asleep
some traffic sound from outside
and a clock ticking.

Ninja's death Haiku

Big little old dog
mourned by all family
so warm their lives.

Summer Skies Tanka

A hippo's head turns
into Fuchur in the sky
then above a horse
slowly becomes a dragon:
clouds are shaped by the wind.

What do you do out there that early - Haiku

You are up early
crazy thoughts of you and me
make my skin hair stirr.

Fast swimming women
rubber cap and bathing suit
just skin and bones.

Going lane by lane
blinded by the morning sun
water cool from rain.

Greens fading into grey
chirping birds, deer's bellow and
laughter from afar.

no socks lie around
poppies and gras in a vase
You sleep at your Ma.

You don't feel the rain
dancing in puddles of mud
wet your tiny shoes.

highways, concrete paths,
tunnels crossing under rails
some green fields like specs.

running through my legs
you play some peek-a-boo to
my hearty laughter.

head in sullen pain,
eyes aching not to look
tense muscles all cramped.

Swimming Pool Haiku

damp air full clorine
blind tiles corners broken off
old people's workout.

May Weather Haiku

Rainbow as background
wind blows showers off fresh leaves
before the next rain.

open them like doors.

winter evening

chairs at the table
light shining through white tulips
i am watching you.

between - a senryu for today

so warm in my bed
thoughts shifting from dreams to dawn
just five more minutes!

today

dirty specks of snow
fields in many shades of grey
under a dark sky
change to hazy green and brown
morning in a pale sun's light.



should be a tanka ;-)

work

table full of notes
two calls in between
what a busy day.

caught in the act

table full of books
some notes, a pen, all scattered
- oh so much to do!

Neither here nor there

work is dragging thoughts
towards my work tomorrow
sunday evening blues

good morning

Still dark, no movements,
just the fridge humming, clock ticking:
my world still empty.

industrial area

iron bridge, gas tanks,
party in a factory:
what is outdated?




.....................................
All of a sudden, when picking someone up in that kind of area,
i became aware that we still use technologies of 19th century. They
are still crucial for our lives, not only as pittoresque settings but in
their intended purpose. Only now we redefine some things some times
often not aware of doing this.

Udo

Spielzeug weit verstreut
und Bücher angeknabbert -
Udo ist fleissig.

tulips

tulips in a vase
blossoms of waxen coulour
a white wall behind.

what is a haiku?

for me it is like this

sylaballes (pronounced)

are descriptive of a real fact or situation, and are not to metaphorical or so.
