Japanese Form Poetry by SB Wright
morning haze
I clean my glasses
and it clears

casualty
after the heatwave
I check my bonsai

the stray kitten
pausing to strike a pose
Maneki Neko

lone call,
still, on a low fence wire
a bird I can’t name
after Soft Rains May Come
©️sbwright2023

seeing, not seeing
the dented tailgate
the faded spark
©️Sbwright2023

beyond my power
the installer reschedules
at days end

forty plus
the paint and I
dry too fast
©️sbwright2023

withered mallee
passing, all its leaves
take flight

©️Sbwright2023
rough summer gust
the wind has forgotten
how to sing
after The Aim Was Song

inescapable heat
a gum branch tears itself away
from the trunk
