Gaijin-ku-ryu 三十八

-  Gyoga Chujo ([米人 - 俳句] Haiku/Senryu)

crickets cricketing

against the black of night;

the fall has arrived ✍🏼 

frogs in evening

croak sun below horizon;

frog leaps to lily pad  ✍🏼 

death awaits us all

just around the next bend;

you beat the devil ✍🏼 

the day of the dead 

brings Halloween tree to life; 

trick or treat for all ✍🏼 

five syllables first 

seven of them second;

not a hard fast rule ✍🏼 

bright light on path

lighting the way for us all;

go into the light ✍🏼 

dark are the hallows

where pumpkins grow biggest;

it's witching hour ✍🏼 

doing things well

sometimes not doing so well;

ask what you learned ✍🏼 

warm seat to sit on

for the most private matters

one of life's pleasure ✍🏼 

the hands of man

wonderful gifts of nature;

doing things lots of ✍🏼 

rooms by the hour

what's up with that one asks; 

audience giggles  ✍🏼 

in a small town

by the name of mercury;

order of mushroom 🍄 ✍🏼 

blinding light white

a wave of powerful wind;

Nevada's the place ✍🏼 

mornings are hardest

we are at our weakest;

rise and shine buttercup ✍🏼 

a day passes by

without one inspiration; 

sun sets on the mind ✍🏼 

ultimate darkness 

traveling to deepest space;

living one's dream ✍🏼
