Haiku Harvest

.
caress ~
spring wind
shapes the sand
.

.
trace of lipstick -
dry moon
at sunrise
.

.
seventh moon -
fireflies
mirror love
.

.
empty house -
dead vine
on the porch
.

.
egg fight
your wish
under my shell

Presence

.
tender side
on the stone
capless acorn
.

.
forty days after
the harvest moon
is too bright
on the rocking chair
I do not dare to move

paper wasp

.
doze off
doze on
the spring goes by
.

.
autumn leaf
at the root
of emerging bloom

red lights

.
on this day in May
I have nothing to wish for
and yet I join
your search for the wishing flower
on a lilac cluster
.

[in Russia a lilac flower with six or more petals grants a wish]
