I see
my breath, but where
are the birds?

I see
fewer birds
these days.

  1. You see your breath, Ken?
    I ‘take’ it.:-)

    few birds — its still winter, no?
    they will be everywhere by spring..not far :)

    wishes,
    devika

  2. ravens gone
    now just,
    my breath

  3. Hidden,
    Comfort of twigs,
    sparrows nest..

  4. from this afternoon:

    Gingerly moves
    On frozen creek
    Ducks tap dance

    Blank stares
    At cawing raven
    …Notes exchanged

    Enjoy,

  5. Ah, Devika, spring is not now . . . and the future is always far. May our breath remain plenty like the hidden birds!

    sanjay rajan, Dr Zen, haikuexpeditions – Nice collection of haiku. The birds are close, indeed, but just hidden. Like haiku. A haiku is a gift. Many thanks.

  6. winged friends
    hiding-
    pollution rolling in?

  7. gautami – We must protect our friends – with poetry, no?

  8. Talking of protecting our friends….Ken, I came upon this idea that I like to kick around and see if we are get a community of poets going….I was thinking of Poets Without Borders as a place for everyone from anywhere, everywhere to post poetry to build bonds across the world. No rules on type of poetry/language or any such thing…

  9. I think it is a good idea. Dave Bonta introduced me to this link, which seems like something similar – http://thepoetrycollaborative.org. Dave recently started a “micropoem” collaborative called http://openmicro.org.

  10. Experiencing our existence beside absence we may feel it most deeply…really love these two haiku

  11. Thanks, Grant.

    Presence/absence, scarcity/abundance, simplicity/complexity – these are the contrasts in which our voices take form and drift.

    I really enjoy reading your work as well.
