Virginie Colline: Haiku la Nuit

Night Haiku

Full Moon at Magome by Hasui Kawase

 

 
black row of dumpsters

an errant dog laps the moon
in a cold puddle

he points at the sky
a hint of eternity
in this diamond night
time evaporates
behind the doors of shadow
moonlit Tsumago

From Paris, With Haiku

Silver Lining Haiku

 

Le Corde Sensible, by Rene Magritte. 1960

 

a cloud for breakfast
in my hand a pearl of dew
against the sultry day
