Chaiku: Last Breath

her last breath was like
the sound of a leaf falling
he touched a damp curl

What is Chaiku? 

Chaiku – Shaky Limbs

on shaky limbs
i tightrope across life
without a safety net

What is Chaiku? 

Chaiku: Zen Moments

The pain of the past
Contracting my joy
Breathing out…
Expanding into this
Present moment

Chaiku: Silence

words caught in my lips
bleeding into the abyss
silence isn’t golden

Chaiku

Chaiku: Rain Sobbing

deep in the woods
i heard the sound of the rain sobbing
maybe it was me

Chaiku: The Old Red Barn

in the old red barn
two brown cows dance clumsily
udderly in love

Chaiku: Death and Asphalt

red-breasted blackbird
lifeless on the hot asphalt
onyx eyes shining bright

Chaiku: Wings

“believe you can fly”
a voice whispered in my ear
was it just a dream?

Chaiku: Shadow

her saddened shadow
an ominous reflection
upon the white sand
