95. What's Up?

Shallow pond —
a white crane stands
looking skyward.

71. Drawing Closer

Early morning...
an old barn bites down
into the ground.

65. Hidden Friend

A bird chirps
there, some where —
quiet afternoon.

54. Hurry

Oh, little slug
you must get moving, go on...
a robin's nearby.

50. Higher Level

A child shares
a bit of chocolate —
raising the bar.

92. Here Today

Tiny bubbles
on a bar of soap —
soon gone.

44. Delight

Nibbling sushi
between sips of saki —
a sun day.

37. Common Wisdom

Cards & plumbing:
a flush is better than
a full house.

30. Noisy Friends

tinnitus —
hearing crickets
all the time

[As you know, the One-Year-Linked haiku project is now completed. I have another project I am planning that will hopefully start on September 1, 2007. I plan to post details about this in a few weeks.

In the meantime I will post each day a verse that I wrote back in 2005/2006 when I first started writing haiku. These haiku/senryu have not been previously posted to this blog, thus the low numbering.]

1110. Still on Board

Lake raft —
I drift off, still on
my sea legs.

[This is the final haiku in the "Linked Year" project. We are in the process of compiling these haiku into a book we plan on publishing in the near future.]
