On Saving

#Haibun #Haiku #Poetry

More poems here: kasasagi.blog
Haibun on yellow background with a sumi-e painting of a Wren in a bucket of water. On Saving I saved a fledgling today, a wren of some sort. It had fallen into a bucket of water left for kangaroos. I scooped it out and placed it in the ficus pot, sheltered, to dry. If I hadn't got sick. If I hadn't been travelling home from treatment. If I hadn't crossed our desert of a lawn to check the mailbox. It shook itself dry, then disappeared into the garden. my hand pointing... she places a Bible tract in it Earlier, waiting in line at the cancer centre, I tried to let an elderly woman go ahead of me. She pressed a Bible tract into my hand. Each time I passed her after that, she did the same. She did not seem to recognise me.

#HaikuTip Have you thought of being poor as a topic for haiku?

autumn colors—
the scarecrow’s shirt
nicer than mine
(Stanford M. Forrester)

Issa often wrote about being poor & the real treasures in life:

hole in the wall—
my harvest moon
comes in

(p. 69 of Lanoue’s book Write Like Issa)
