without you
the cherry blossoms a memory
of cherry blossoms

the kids stare
beyond Rafah's border wall
the slow descent
of a butterfly kite
severed from its string

cocooning
a butterfly dream

while sowing poppies
lest we forget

chickadees
filling the spaces between

Hege A. J. Lepri an unknown flower
bends with the wind
child migrant

the flare arrives
before the final fall
Icarus' lessons

across the nightsky
a flare-up of wanderlust
pink auroras

pink moon
suddenly eclipsed
by miniskirts

pink moon—
half a grapefruit
for breakfast

farmer's almanac
telling me love can wait
pink moon

Something else worth noting if you ever review those collections of Basho translations side by side, our examples gathered represent about 10-20% of the interpretations of the verses exhibited there...

Is there a cure for writing bad poetry? I'm in a slump where all I create turns to sh*t by the second reading. And I work too much this month to take the time to reset and start again.

flotsam of poetry gone spring floods

#monoku #senryu

children's chatter
mixed with chickadees chirping
and the garbage truck
what I bend to listen to
becomes what I hear

#TankaThursday (listen) #tanka #5lines

hidden leak
the pantry børsting with
fusion gumbo
