Solitary Readings

Haikus

by Huan Tzu Shi & Go Mei Zhu

snowy pinions flutter
in the cold winter wind,
snow eagles seek shelter.

-

fishes hide in a rock pool
cool and undisturbed
as the sunlight blaze above.

-

the old flower bends
to the sighing breeze
young flower stands tall.

-

soft snap of dry twig,
in the shadows hungry eyes
focus on shattered silence.

-

dawn unwinds,
two ducks swim closely
embracing the silence.


on white lotus-
red dragonfly stands still-
guarding beauty.


in the icy crystal air,
snow egrets watch with regret :
as the last leaf wither and bend.


fierce autumn winds :
leaves shiver in their wake...
as petals become butterflies.

-

prism of colors swim by-
clear water flows, sparkling cold
between shadowing leaves.

-

this early dawn:
silver and gold fishes
paint sunlight in the deep waters.

-

in the moonlight...
flowers shine like pearls,
set on black velvet.

-

in the stillness of dawn...
the flowers glow aflame
announcing the sun.

-

on the silent pond
a tiny bud pushes off
the last withered leaf.

-

a bird perched on a rock,
a mere puff of bright fluff...
acres of songs.

-

flowing stream...
fishes swim slowly beneath-
unmindful of the flower above.

-

a white lotus
cups it petals to the light,
dead leaves cast only shadows.

-

boats lie on their side,
reed baskets overflow
with silver harvest.

-

on white lotus-
red dragonfly stands still-
guarding beauty.

-

two wild ducks
bend the mirror of water
softly rippling the light.

-

a fish lingers
slower than the rest
takes a new path.

-

chorus of flowers
some bow too soon...
revealing the others
