Cherry blossom flurries
across grass; sun sparks off
dark pond water.

Blown sleet taps windows.
Flowering pear, wish I could
invite you inside.

Dube, I love 'cherry blossom flurries'! Reminds me of those flowering trees in Washington state. When the wind blew we had 'pink rain' and that's the only name I know for them, 'pink rain trees'. Eritain, the beloved, how wonderful to come back after years of being gone and find your dear name and excellent haiku. All my best! Lida Jo from Idaho

Alone in the pub
my lone pint on the table

many years have passed
but it seems he still protects
those small-town secrets

Choirs of bells sing on
in the sunshine, for tourists
who understand lunch.

love those small towns where the church bells ring at noon.
thanks for taking me back with your wonderful writing. c-belle

Well done, Dube. (By the way, is it Dube rhyming with Dude or Doo-BAY?)
I love 'choirs of bells'. Wish I had written that. LJ from ID

Long after I'm gone
People will forget my name
I was never here

I've got a feeling your name will live on. thank you JB from Texas.

Crying child disturbs
me as seats are debated
next stop Winchester.

There have been trying times when a "Winchester" seems to be the
best solution.
counting to ten in french doesn't always cut it.
enjoyed. c-belle

I love your response, it made me see this in a completely different light. Sadly, I was on a train and very grateful that I was getting off at Winchester. Next time though...
Dube :-)

Ah kids! You just got to luv them.
I have a strange way of reading things.
Love your ku! c-belle

Am I wide asleep
I'm the dream grifter's real mark
Limbo is my home

Enjoyed. Truly brilliant.
What is reality. Could this life be Limbo?
IPP is your home. c-belle

Thank you very much. I love haiku, it's nice to be able to express so much thought in such a short and sweet manner. JB

Burned deep in my idle flesh

our midnight tango
consequence will soon be seen
takes two to tango

you're right. Three is just plain showing off.

Be that as it may
For they say that Truth will out
And God is seven

The Jitterati
Parading Hoxton, Dalston,
I need: maps, caffeine!

Winter joy

Bleak winter morning
Color lost in maze of gray
Oh! A cardinal!

-------
One of the best haikus I've seen. I know what the winter day looked like. That sudden flash of red of the cardinal is like a ray of sunshine.

Beautiful, BR!! Excellent understated elegance!! Can't Haiku better than that! Lida Jo from Idaho
-------
I didn't write this, I only commented on it. Wish I could claim it, but, I can't!

Seven red setters
Seen slowly stalking swaybacks

Today a poet
scarred me forever in verse
I may never heal

That last line is weak since if one is scarred forever one cannot heal.
Wish I had said:
may it serve me well

This morning
Beneath the wiper blade
One crisp brown leaf

Great. Gives me the feeling of late Autumn in New Hampshire.

Finally behind me now
All thats left is life

Glad you've reached that point in life. Wish I could.
