lazy sun,
where you've been -
southerly winds

Sunny morning -
a sparrow trying to keep
its mouth shut

Here is one more version from my sketchbook:

Sunday morning -
i tired sparrow going
to say: "chirp?"

Spam-flyers

August vacation -
empty mailbox got wet
in late summer rain

I took off my word verification. Let's see what's happening.

Do you remember old scandal where email-passwords "unveiled". One lonely lady heaved: "Oh no, now everyone sees that I never receice a single email..."

This next one is for Bill, I borrow it here from Bill's comment-box because I like the idea:

lonely mailbox -
tinned spam
got an off day?

see:

More stuff around this idea:

a spy-master
short of unused stamps -
accountable profit center

rainy night ...
some of the old puddles
joined together

Isn't that cricket

Making a problem

calm night
week after my birthday
a calm morning

At 6 o'clock I walked towards Turku Central Railway station. A sunny morning. Build up a threeliner in my mind when walked:

a calm night -
now a calm morning
a week after my birthday

Rised R3 as R2, and I did not accept R3 just something like "August".

In my mind the word "calm" sounds somewhat 'cold'. Is it? Neither cool?

Anyway weather was calm. But what about a short night?

A short, calm night just a week after my birthday & now also a calm morning.

:-) If "short" then perhaps calm only once.

R3 got an "a" in front of it. And the word "short" did not succeed? Did i got a problem?

When seated in the train and a got a nice cup of coffee I wrote once more my final solution:

short night
not a week after my birthday
a calm morning

Whose problem? Approaching Helsinki, the train making 160 km/hour. We'll get a nice summer day anyway.

太田川

thickness -
the river flows
towards the Waste Seas

Label: Otagawa, Hiroshima

freshborn barrier -
after 67 years
it will be useless?

(I got my 67th anniversary today...)

borders, neighbors

red border -
I can hear our
neighbors

P.s.
At first the text was:

red border -
I can hear our neighbors
having some fun

Slightly different story:

Conquered branches
hiding the sunshine -
August's colony

Barber's vacation

as an empty beach -
well lighted street
for alone cars

My barbershop in the right, and first door on the left is the nearest pub. Barber's vacation just now.

Low pressure -
half cup of black coffee
cooling down

Shiki July 2012

My threeliners in July 2012 Shiki Kukai, "talk"

a thicket ...
talkative
mosquitoes

Free Format, "blue"

blue drops
on unfinished last will —
emptied ink bottle

Talkative got two points; thanks for it. Blue drops one point, which is nice, too.

clouds drifting ...
for the sun
enough room

The only vanished thing
among the morning grass
is the dew

o snails
tough night
was it?

trying to catch
a single sunray -
approaching rain

thrice newborn life

1.

newborn frog
jumps towards blue sky -
the reeds

2.

going to fly
beyond the horizon -
newborn crow

3.

a young pigeon
did a beautiful white spot -
just like his father

# 3 also, if you prefer:
just like her father

Another sketch for this photo:

More fingers
growing up?
A young pine.

Middle arrow
shooting a sunny day -
crow's nesting tree

Rainy day -
did you succeed with
your family planning?
