Japan's Unrest (a tanka)

Ground trembling once more,
citizens praying for peace
even as chaos
is averted on this day.
When will their calm spring arrive?

Daffodils

Vigilant flower
rising from the
chilled soil,

Svelte emerald
stem stretching
upward to

Greet the rising
sun, the hue
of warm rays

Coloring its bright
petals, its
center spread open,

Awake to the
advent of spring
despite the cold.

Beloved and Lost

She dreams about
friends beloved
and lost;

She thinks about
the well-being
of her companion,

Living in the island
of their roots,
dwelling with

The ghosts of
her past.

She sends good thoughts
for the friend lost
due to confusion;

The cord
of friendship
snapped unexpectedly,

Nothing to do
now but strengthen
current bonds.

She dreams about
friends beloved
and lost.

She wishes the best
for them all.

Nature's music (a haiku)

Light conversation
mingling with happy birdsong
on this bright spring day.
