haiku 1

falling cherry blossoms
last dance
before the next spring

written during the usual seminar (zemi)

Mondays at Helda’s Cafi

The cookie-maker
sits beside her cookie-jar
and thinks of yet another recipe
to enchant
her cookie-lovers

inspired by a friend who is good at baking cookies

silent companion

The drone of the persistent night rain
devoured every inch of silence
in the room.

Soon,
it became the usual nightly silence
in the room

when everything was drowned,
except the residue of my thoughts -
my only companion.
