April First - Poem A Day

tanka april 1

birdsong pierces
dawn neongreen splits
vision time warps
the lemon
moon

Haiku and Tanka from Big Sur

sung to sleep by
sea lions
above the jade green surf

mist creeps up the
mountain from the
silver sea

hunting jade
among greygreen
sea stones
lost in white
mist magic

Big Sur Reverie
