Ango 2015 Poetry

[Kokuu]

Hi all

I started this thread to post any haiku I write during the 2015 autumn practice period and it would be lovely if anyone wanted to share anything they write also.


After months apart
my rakusu slides on
like an old friend.

After months apart
an old friend
slides on the rakusu
like well-kept rice paddies.

Thank you for your practice, Kokuu.
Deep bows,

I posted this in the Metta thread yesterday.. I was thinking about my teen daughter's schoolmate and her Mom who were tragically killed in a car accident on Thursday.

Autumn is coming
Impermanence visible
Gentle rain falling

Zazen
silence between
each tick of the clock.

Kokuu,

I wish there was a like button. Nothing to say, but I missed your poetry.

Hi Kokuu,

So happy to see you taking Ango. Thank you.

And thank you for this thread. I'll post some of my poetry here from time to time

Somewhere between
sleep and wakefulness
the cry of a gull.

Drawing lines
separating
measured, uncut silence.

Between concrete tiles
the whole sky reflected in
a single puddle.

[Kokuu]

All feather and bone
brushing the cool air my hands
become swallow wings.

[Kokuu]

Autumn --
neither coming or going
yellow birch leaves.

Humpty Dumpty on the wall

Spat he goes

Feed us all

LOL Jishin!
