shallow seas welcome
the cast net but return none

Daily Haiku Prompt for 17 March: crocus (North)
close to the ground and
closed to overcast grey skies,
the nymph forgotten
Notes

willow do not weep:
those yellowed leaves swept downstream
will be buds in Spring

On working from home with a sick child: a #haiku
Wow, I didn't know

If Trump is your man,
you're surely no fan of heart,
conscience, and manners.
Please forgive me for temporarily totally losing my cool. I just learned through the Dutch Haiku Association that my haiku got an honourable mention in the 7th Basho-an International English Competition 2024! Getting such recognition in Japan is one of my ultimate 'WOW'- moments!
fresh tendrils unfurl,
gently shrugging off the soil -
still cold, but rising
Kigo: 余寒 (yokan) - still cold
from my sick window
a cloud passes, as time does
our silent wind chimes
snapping open wings -
the cry of wild geese
transcends horizons
Kigo: 雁金 (karigane) - cry of wild geese
Caution (when abroad)
means Americans claiming
they're Canadian.
Summer shrugs,
raises an eyebrow:
sudden rain.
#haiku #smallpoems
Kigo: 乍雨 (niwaka ame) - sudden rain
amber light -
indian summer's
evening boon

Lies make great TV.
But not watching cuts ratings.
So don't fucking watch.
