A Room of My Own: Crescent Moon and Midnight Train Haiku

I'm still still
with this crescent moon ...
midnight train passing


FYI: The following haiku could be read as its prequel:

at the crescent moon
the silence
enters the heart

Chiyo-ni 


Added: Re-Homing in the Maple Land, XXXVI

high-rise skyline
a balloon drifts up and down
as I'm evicted


Added: Instant Weather, Feb. 15: Strongest Snowstorm in Years to Bury Southern Ontario in Up to 50cm of Snow on Sunday

I huff and puff
to clear away all the snow
on my driveway
after a snowplow comes by
a wall of snow blocks my way


FYI: My tanka below could be read as a sequel:

meditating
while shovelling my driveway --
snow is just snow
yet sometimes not snow
but in the end snow

Ribbons, 5:1, Spring 2009 


Added: written on Canada's Flag Day

round after round
of shovelling snow ...
the Maple Leaf 
atop the snow wall between me
and the American neighbor
