'Oh man' haiku

These noisy parents
call their children dirt, laughing,
could you imagine?

Christmas play rehearsal

Young teens, children still
nearly drown in their chatter
the last rehearsal.

Business Trip Haiku

People passing by
so many, so different
my hotel window.

Don't touch - Dienstreise

Kalte Sommernacht
Asphaltschwalben und Fastfood
im Bahnhofsviertel.

Winter Morning Haiku

Frozen screens turn white
whe the red morning shifts from
darkness to crisp light.

My Life Haiku

I watch these people
listening from the corner
how blessed am.

Early e.o.d. Haiku

Everything strange
when i leave work at about four
there is still daylight.

November

Cold rain is drizzling
biking through puddles at night
mirrors of silver.

Run in Rain Haiku

Cristal clear water
in the path through the meadow
i enjoy running.

Leaves full of color
the humid air full of scents
- pick the ripe year, now!

foreboding fall haiku

The first trees are bald
i see no one walking empty fields
when will the birds fly?

Family Haiku

Unspectacular
would this day not have been filled
with laughter and joy.

No Summer Haiku

Birds twitter breaks the
sudden silence of a pause
in the constant rain.

Moselle houses

Stones picked from the fields,
piled, darkened by decades,
houses of the land.

Rainy Summer Haiku

Clouds racing the sky
first crops harvested in the
short breaks without rain.

Moselle Haiku

Stones to hot to sit
vines as far as eyes can see
river in the midst.

Shokado Poems Haiku

Twentyfour poems
gold and silver lines across
like base shining through.

*******************************
I am not all happy with the base. I thought of using soul, truth, ground, grounding, foundation, elements and finally decided to use base, as being the word best describing the material and immaterial thing everything is made out of. Any suggestions for a better word?

Long day haiku

Exhausted from work
tired of discussions too
sighs become breathing.

Pick for Udito

Walking along fields
i pick barley, oats, rye, and
wheat to show to you.

Warm night Haiku

Swallows soaring high
twiching shades against the blue
bats will follow soon.

Importance

A skyful of leaves
i see a small bird moving.
So does he feel big?

time haiku

I could have missed this
a day like April in May
tic tac tic tac tic.

silence haiku

no calls, no talking,
the air condition shut down
silence fills the room.

by hand - tanka

cleaning the dishes
and cooking my meals by hand
brings my mind to ease
helps me find my way into now
from yesterday, tomorrow.

specks of winter

Yellow daffodils
covered by brown wetness as
purple crocusses.

Home Work haiku

Home seems just a break
in the endless tasks at work
i am missing you.

After a hard day

Little figure of
styrofoam and bent wires
made me smile today.

Saturday, January 13, 2007

Running in streetlight
stepping into dark forest
sudden scents apear.

Tuesday, January 09, 2007

Cold air from the fan
swinging slowly in its vent
makes my eyes burn now.

Blue Haiku

So soft and juicy
blue cheese filling my mouth with
this bodily taste.
