Yay Words! 
twilight dawn-
the flight of an
empty cage
Ripples
water. the first mirror. a reflecting pool. i watch. Spring thoughts. drift. illuminated. beneath lanterns. in the water world. unknowing. i listen. my thoughts wander. beneath each ripple. a thousand more thoughts. reflected. mirroring. the air world. above. the water world. below. one touch. and i disappear.
ripples
my thoughts disappear
in the reflecting pool
aloha Aubrie and all. every time I read my above prose I want to make a one word tweak. I thought I could let it go. I cannot. so the version I prefer is this one:

aloha and thank you Symanntha.
in the dark
of the night…
a light
lovely and true
patio shadows spring begins to stir
This. I dig this.
unlit lanterns
cast shadows
add to darkness
[…] I Doodle, You ‘Ku #2014-23 […]
the neighbor’s lanterns
sway in this late cold front breeze
someone new moves in
the poignant shifts
between light and shadow
just like your heart . . .
all I could ever want
through a lantern path
Light greater than I.
Seaweed
on my shoes.
moon covered
with light clouds
country sky
held in a dream …
the song of sparrows waits
for dawn
unspoken words —
the paper lanterns
of my dreams
mirroring
one of the things
he used to do . . .
I see more stars tonight
with your hand in mine
blue dusk
gods of the goldfish
descend
4th of July
red Chinese lantern
delicate paper floats by
soon to be burnt out
then what will give me light
on this dreary dark night

Reblogged this on Failing at Haiku and commented:
You do not have to respond to the doodle with a “haiku” you can respond with any type of poem. On day 23 I felt the need to do a tanka:
4th of July
red Chinese lantern
delicate paper floats by
soon to be burnt out
then what will give me light
on this dreary dark night
Tanabata hanging on to the afterglow
