San Francisco Haiku #7

zen garden
no urge to slap
the mosquito

*

still in the lap
of buddha
white butterfly

*

through the redwoods
in such a hurry
summer wind

    Haha – you are on a roll Graham (nothing could stop me killing a mosquito – not very zen, I know ;) – I would fail the meditation)

    Awesome haiku man. My favourite series so far! I’ve been writing several sequences myself, it’s a beautiful poetry form. Thanks for the inspiration.

    This is my favorite!

    In real life I would not scruple over the mosquito, no matter how nice it sounds in a poem:)
