motionless Winter chill
crystal dry and vacuous
         still
life thrives minuscule
busy in me ******

the song is faulty
everyone does not want to
rule the world, not i,
just want to be left along
in the world to live and love

I am always here
the little girl smiled down
from the oak wardrobe
in his soft silhouette house.
Now pull the covers tighter

Crisp air blowing through
Hibiscus and red roses
Filling my nose with
A touch of pink health. Spreading
To my face like soft kisses

For the mountain
Loneliness from windー
Is an impossibility.
And yet still
Beautiful that the blossoms fall and fly away.
As far as I am aware, the site, as of now, does not support Kanji. While I could post these in katakana, it would feel far more disingenuous to the core elements of many haiku and tanka, and so I feel more comfortable posting them as self-translations. Which also explains why the syllable/on count is not in line, since it is a translation. Hopefully they will at least convey the feelings I am trying to express. Or the atmosphere. Whichever finds you.

Don't know what I need
Till I see it on the net
The pictures look great
Reviews say it's worth having
Close the lid and go to bed

one day i will tire
lay my tablet down to rest
then never retouch
for any creative use
bury me with tablet on

nothing but the wind
escapes this abandoned house;
flowing,       it pushes
all the sunlight out   until
we are alone in darkness

come in with the moon
and stay awhile like starfish
stay in a tide pool
both of us under its sway
then parting—
                       moon pulling away
Notepad Sep 2021
If only you knew
My eyes would howl at the moon
Tears of crystal blue
That you were my only one
Before you fade in the light
