Our planes shadow on
bright cloud that other season
travelling with us
Only one figure
moves on the dark mountain, a
twist of rain-bright road

a touch of velvet
December sky
hanging low
Christmas Eve
blue lights on the trees
outline darkness
June rain
knifing through grass and clothes
lightning stabs the sky
finches
chirp a high note
asking, answering

of the billion stars
this one
the dawn-bringer
professor's e-mail...
a man with such a large

an aspen
outside the Deutsche Bank
counting its leaves
exploring a length of breath autumn wind
bamboo stems
their memories
of the sun

river mist
barges transport coal
in both directions
autumn dusk
a cat rubs its shadow
against fishermen's legs
no mushrooms today
bringing home in my bucket
rainwater and stars
sunset in the park
a man playing giant chess
against his shadow
icy beach
a child treads upon
broken bits of seashells
(five haiku first published in Haiku Scotland No 12, February 2007)
between snowfalls:
the moon through
cherry blossom petals
(Honourable Mention haiku at Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival 2007)

in the waves
sinking... not sinking...
