Wind in the Reeds
The autumn kigo 'wind in the reeds' Sketchbook kukai results are now out - view them here. Congratulations to my writing buddy Cara Holman for her 2nd place win - that's the haiku I gave my top points to! Here are my efforts for what was my first Sketchbook kukai:

get the wishbone
wind in the reeds
wind in the reeds
I dare you to love

The Letter
wind gusts —

Windböen —
der Brief war nicht
an mich gerichtet

treatment ends
the sky yields
a burst of rain

With Good News
each time
with good news
seems to come bad
the wind snatches thoughts
of our future

In Memoriam, Svetlana Marisova
Haiku written for friend and fellow haiku poet Svetlana Marisova,
during her illness, and on her passing 7/9/2011

my thoughts again
turn to you
winter breeze...
your haiku song in
these wind chimes
winter's end...
the world through this
blackbird's song
