World Haiku Series 2022 (108) Haiku by Sanjuktaa Asopa (India)

Haiku by Sanjuktaa Asopa

breathe slow, slower…

fog is settling

in the woods

fallen pine cone

I pick up the scent

of a mountain night

moonset–

the cricket hides its song

under a clod of earth

ginko walk

both squirrel and I

are foragers

sleeping late

a thrush leaves its whistle

near my door

spring  mud …

craters blossom/appear

on a Kyiv street

I soften

my point of view

Yucca blossoms

backwater cove …

an old man fishes out

a bit of sunset

striking the first chord

a robin’s

long trill

unpaved path

I pause a while to listen

to the wind
