dawn lingers in grey clouds...
lights on the mountain

thrill of a bird...
daylight slips through

Sleepless

Morning Impressions

per syllable count the verse in the image is not a haiku as its exceeds seventeen beats

here's another presentation which can be accepted as a tanka


this early morning
rain
it laves even
the silent intervals
of a bird's song
--gilena cox

In Breath

in breath--
my heart beats to the
rhytmn of daybreak
--gillena cox

Wadaiko Yamato a friend sent me this video link of Drummers of Japan; dont leave without viewing it; much love; gillena ☼♥♫~♥*☼♥♫

Opening

Early dawn's curtain,
Drawn to reveal rain showers,
And a pertinent absence of birdsong;
The hum of a motor engine;
The coolness of this morning,
Is quickly snatched away,
As the rain subsides;
Bird songs;
Kiskadee,kiskadee,kiskadee,
And sunlight floods the morning
Curtain call

opening windows-
a reservoir of raindrops
on leaves
--gillena cox

Awake

Sangre Grande

day break--
white egrets fly toward
the sun rising

Twenty two days or so without rain. Dawn shadows playfully cajole the fleeting coolness of another soon to be hot Sunday, scenario, and dew glistens to unseeing eyes; our breaths, having breathed in the morning's coolness, we seat ourselves in the mini bus and head out; Feb 28th 2010 around 5:30 AM; to another of our churches; this year to Sangre Grande; " in the late 1770s, Spanish surveyors who were charting the island for the purposes of creating a map, found that the waters of two of the tributaries of the nearby Oropuche River were red as blood, hence the name Sangre Grande; Our agenda:-- church, workshop, then to Manzanilla beach and back, till next year and another retreat

the bush fire smoke
from the hills of Laventille smogs
the highway traffic
