Daruma Haiku by Chibi

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Daruma's eyebrows above the snow -- glum goes
January 2006
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
winter wind -- the strum of Daruma's beard

first frost -- geisha pancake on Daruma's nose
rocking horse moon -- Daruma in the saddle
December 2005
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
a ghost pumpkin with wax dribble -- Daruma wobbles

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
moonlit -- one eye darkens on Daruma
a starlit wish on a moonlit eye -- O'Daruma

red dragonfly, August 2005
red dragonfly: a gust bends the reeds
transparent wings on the red dragonfly -- clear water
Daruma removes his sandals -- red dragonfly
sun glints off a red dragonfly's wings -- Daruma squints
a red dragonfly hovers -- Daruma's robe
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
a tinge of coolness blushes Daruma's cheeks-- sumac!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
cricket chirps: the folds of Daruma's robe

mulberries (mulberry fruit)
Daruma smiles with
purple teeth

You have a very extensive site here with so much to see and read. I've read some haiku and looked at some photos. I loved the photo of the "tanuki"! I've always heard that "tanuki" is translated as raccoon dog. You seem to prefer the word badger....
I also write haiku and have a home page of poems, haiku, and stories. Please check it out at www.thecrazydog.com. I also have an online book of poems and stories at mikesaleeby.com.
I plan to share your home page with friends.
