mold on the tile ...
a spider walks out
of its hiding
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It is still very hot and quite humid, and the bathtiles cover with mold spots over night. This morning again, on a speck of mold, suddenly a small spider started to walk away from it. I had not noticed him/her in the gray spot at all ... perfect incognito !

roses and weeds
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
lonely roses -
the bees and the butterflies
go for the weeds!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Especially now in autumn, they seem to find all the small little flowers of my many weeds ...

A really good haiku, Gabi.

autumn wind
| 秋風に吹かれて笑う地蔵かな akikaze ni fukarete warau Jizoo kana  his smiling face in the autumn wind - Little Jizoo blown by autumn wind he is simply smiling ... the little wayside god |
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The first fresh breeze after a hot day, finally!
Autumn is here in my valley!
It is a feeling of joy and relief that the hot and humid summer is over,
but
on the other side, it is a reminder of harder times to come soon, winter looming ...
akikaze, wind of autumn, carries a lot of meaning ...
Wind in various KIGO !

dreaming butterflies
 dreaming to be reborn in paradise ... winter butterflies  |
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Chuang Tzu dreamed that he was a butterfly.
All day long, he floated on the breeze
Without a thought of who he was or where he was going.
When he awoke, Chuang Tzu became confused.
"Am I a Man”, he thought, "who dreamed that I was a butterfly?
Or am I butterfly, dreaming that I am a man?
Perhaps my whole waking life is but a moment in a butterfly's dream!.
This is a story of transformation."
Butterfly and Haiku

Early Morning
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
autumn morning -
a whiff of perfume from
last night's dream
morning fog -
a heron fades in
.... fades out
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
On my way uphill to the mailbox, in splendid white invisibility ...
This heron, first his voice in the void, then the sound of wings, then a swish of body, sound of wings, voice in the void ..
How many haiku have been written about this cliché ? I wonder ..
And yet, when it happens, it is breathtaking !

he serves the sushi fish

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I am talking about Japanese food here, not Haiku !
click the smiley, grin ...
.......................................
This kind of SUSHI is maybe my own invention.
Since my husband's diet is without rice in the evening, we started placing the delicious sushi fish cuts from the local store on french bread ... and well ... it tastes great. I love the red caviar (ikura) best!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Gabi, to me sushi means fish, which makes the word "fish" redundant.
But I may be wrong. (I do prefer the rhythm without "fish.")

Dear friend
here is Japan, they put a lot of things on sushi rice (rice cooked with vinegar, sumeshi 酢飯), maybe I can pick up the details up later ...
cucumbers or aubergines or other vegetable, sorts of omelette and egg stuff (they cook it with a bit of sugar, it is a wee bit sweet)
raw chicken or raw horse meet (yes!!) with lots of wasabi for the faint of heart ...
other types of seafood of any kind like mussles and shripms ... and so on.
We usually buy an item called .. cut fish pieces for sushi rice .. at a special fish store and put it on the french bread, my husband is on a diet, but we do without most of the other ingredients.
Enjoy Japanese food and Japanese culture and Haiku on the sideline !
.....
Thanks for the information, Gabi.
To New Yorkers "sushi" means pretty much a way of preparing raw fish.
But, then, to New Yorkers, "haiku" means a light or humorous verse arranged in three lines of 5, 7, 5 syllables, e. g., "Haikus for Jews," "Haikus for Gays," "Haiku U."
The Conclusion of this discussion:
Raw Fish: Sashimi and Sushi
...
And, Gabi, American definitions of "haiku" are still another story.
Your friend
... ... agreed, agreed, my dear American friend!

Incense, a topic for haiku !
Before you start worrying, the above poem is not a haiku (no kigo) and not a senryu (no irony or humour).
It is simply a zappai 雑俳 in my Japanese classification sceme.

At a Hot Spring in Northern Japan, 20 years ago ...
It was destructed much later in an earthquake and has now been reconstructed, in a modern fashion ...
Some older Japanese reference
comment from a friend:
... your haiku demonstrates a good use of punctuation, something that's hard for me to know when to use in one.
Thanks.
