Hail on the rooftop
Tornados passing nearby
She sleeps in the basement

End of the campaign

Late-night verse rush
My cousin dozes and dreams
While waiting for me

[we were both pretty tired from the week and weekend, but she offered to stay up and listen to more verses so that I could meet my verse goal for the campaign itself]

Oops!

The pretty cookies
Were not supposed to consume
All of my life force

Birth, death, pain, sorrow--it ends
When the good King comes

Led by a toddler

When mom and dad arrive,
The sun comes out

The girl sits poised, pen in hand
Gathering thoughts

Lovers together since
Romeo and Juliet

senryu of the day 1-30-2011

Is there still enough?
Why am I praying so much?
Questions of the day.

I wonder how it will feel . . .

Rapture--Bema Seat
Watching rewards meted out
What will be my thoughts?

Tiny handwriting
I try to condense myself
Less space
