a playful monkey

I sense the silent
waft of fragrance
from the incense
calming my heart
in her absence

stop and go traffic
on Hollywood freeway
with over 100 F heat
a red-haired driver starts
waving her bra

the children's swing
stops swinging
foreclosed house

often
I feel alone
amidst a crowd
still hard to fill the void
you left behind

nudges the tattered leaf
her father's death

he helps his only daughter
move out

Friday the 13th
I shoo a black cat
from my driveway

Another haiga collaboration with my friend Ashe from England. Published in my book, Rustle of bamboo leaves.

an empty nest
rides the autumn wind
newly-wed daughter

crawling back to bed
I tried hard to chase
my interrupted dream
upon realizing
it's daylight saving day

their room
fills with silence
this All Souls day
even her unrocking
rocking chair

For the victims of the recent natural calamities specially in the Philippines and elsewhere around the world, I offer them my haiga above. Artwork is by Ashe Wood of England and is from my book, Rustle of bamboo leaves.
