Lent has come

Lent, the forty days to Easter has started. One of my haiku friends has started a (as she is calling it) Lent Haiku Journey. I didn't know what Lent was, but one of my fellow haiku poets explained it to me.
So this one is the first for my Lent haiku Journey.

reconciled
He choses His Way to the Cross
my Redeemer


spring is coming
reconciled with winter
snowdrops blooming

Apple Blossoms Fall

apple blossoms fall
a cock greets a new day
again blossom falls

a late spring storm

late spring storm
scatters the delicacy
of Cherry blossoms

Hi, my name is Kristjaan Panneman, I am living in The Netherlands. I write haiku since the late eighties. I write under nom the plume Chevrefeuille (French for Honeysuckle). I am happy that I am invited to this blog.

time to retire
that distant place in mind

the faces on innocence
on stage

at my friend's wake house
the dominoes and cards

blue and yellow bottles
complete with water

saluting the guest
with the color of light

the cathedral gone
even the heritage

early morning awakening
the night light

sea gulls yelp
crazed dingos heralding
the rush hour

old man's garden -
a scarecrow
with a floral dress


***

jardin du vieil homme -
un épouvantail
en robe à fleurs

evening commute
huge orange moon
skims the treetops

winter morning
two butterflies
warm the garden

Haiku..proudly

dandelions
have proudly returned
let's barefoot it

dusk
rising up to start the day
spaghetti breakfast

Haiku..comparison

a warbler
extinguishes the silence
no ahem compares

sweeping
its first faded flowers
jasmine's scent

***

balayant
ses premières fleurs fanées
le parfum du jasmin

Haiku..twilight

twilight rustle...
each tree a trombone
as my street sleeps

the first cry
of our newborn baby

night in the open
consumed with cricket song
we know out of millions
there's a star for us
each and everyone
