Where Have My Dreams Gone (Tanka)

Where have my dreams gone
My mind a dark theatre
I wake to nothing
No recollection of sleep
Only a nocturnal void

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Do You Hear Their Song (Haiku)

Do you hear their song
Baying to the lonesome moon
Coyotes crying

Eyes Close For The Day (Haiku)

Eyes close for the day

Preparing for tomorrow

Start with a clean slate

Glow Of City Lights (Haiku)

Glow of city lights

Flames in the valley below

Concrete paradise

Last Traces Of Day (Tanka)

Last traces of day

Sink below the horizon

Relief from days heat

Still and warm, the crickets sound

Singing the song of the night

The Great Overseer Watches

The great overseer watches,

Staring down upon the flora and fauna,

Yellow in the face,

Looming large,

Dwarfing all in his path.

Yet enormity is merely size,

It does not reveal his gentleness.

He would not crush the delicate flower,

Nor terrify beasts of the field.

He leaves no trace of where he’s been

Or where he is going when he leaves.

WIth grace and in silence he rises,

Laying his soft light upon all in his charge.

Signaling slumber for those of the day

And sounding his alarm for the nocturnal.

This is his way,

This is how he always has been.

He simply is

…The gentle giant.

Pinpoint moon

Celestial eye

Keeping watch

Up above

What could be more beautiful

In all the heavens

To Feel The Night (Haiku Series)

Warm–moist is the breeze

Accompanying the buzz

~~ Mosquitos draw blood

~

A blood moon eclipse

Is this the sign of end times

~~ An infrequent visit

~

Shadows in the night

Tend to breed anxiety

~~ There’s nothing to fear

~

The pregnant sky falls

Bringing evening into the world

~~ Another day dead

The Dark Angels Fly (Tanka)

The Dark Angels fly

Back to the netherworld

Cloaked in ghoulish smiles

Proud of their terror unleashed

Anxious for the coming year
