HAIKU 7

the incense burns out

on the mound of dead ashes

what fragrance remains?

HAIKU 6

root, seed, secret soul
under smooth, white, quiet snow
life nests within death

~ Quang Thành Kính Elise Bédard

HAIKU 5

stumbling on the path

thrown in hell,

flung to heaven

stillness at the core

~ Quang Thành Kính

HAIKU 4

on the pond, the moon
a leaf, a floating petal
now, ten thousand moons

~ Elise Bedard

HAIKU 3

a bird calling like a bell

a dart of stillness

scent of flowers in the rain

Elise Bedard

HAIKU 2

The moon shines over the stream

Footsteps in the snow

Lead up to the other shore

~ Elise Bedard

HAIKU

sitting still as a mountain
pointing at the moon
the Buddha is teaching me

Elise Bedard
