Non sequitur haikus

[electrycmonk]

古池や蛙飛び込む水の音
ふるいけやかわずとびこむみずのおと

The best-known Japanese haiku[13] is perhaps Bashō‘s “old pond”:

古池や蛙飛び込む水の音
ふるいけやかわずとびこむみずのおと
furu ike ya kawazu tobikomu mizu no oto

Translated:[14]

old pond
frog leaps in
water’s sound

This separates into on as:

fu-ru-i-ke ya (5)
ka-wa-zu to-bi-ko-mu (7)
mi-zu-no-o-to (5)

I can read & think
Yet, sun has long ago set;
Grow from just moon light?

depends on the soul,
What shall flourish in the heart;
while the mind slumbers?

 

[Chookwagn]

3rd day raining hard
rivers have burst their banks now
stopping it is not

 

[Chookwagn]

Evacuations
King tides, army have been called
And it still comes down

Evacuations
King tides, army have been called
And it still comes down

Remember to breathe,
Flotation or life jacket?
Ziplock bags for phones!

mother nature’s test,
Covid was just the warm up;
Pace yourselves tonight!

Ain't going away
120kph wind
6 more hours of rain



We all live in a yellow submarine

 

[Chookwagn]

Stuck in my office
Wondering how the Monk is...
"MONK" How do you fare?

 

[electrycmonk]

Not “cut’in’ the rug”
Rather, burning off cancer;
& expanding tail.


Rain has affected,
Finally found inversion,
My stamina sucks!

 

[electrycmonk]

“Black dog” has slept some,
I can grant you that for sure;
Life’s far from easy.

Faraday’d so-so,
Exotic night life, not yet,
Just surviving storms.

Not gonna whitewash,
It’s been somewhat productive;
Now it’s time for bed.

 

[electrycmonk]

Radio playin’
24-7 in here,
Tinnitus at bay.

Frozen blueberries,
Sitting in a cup of milk;
Waiting for the slush.

 

[electrycmonk]

Dishwasher loaded,
It’s been years since I have been.
I don’t see the bad.
