The Floating World - a book of days (Last) Walking home through wet fields - afternoon church bells muffled by rain. As the year ends, old days thrown from high windows float down like fresh snow. #haiku #micropoetry

The Floating World - a book of days (32) There’s no one left to keep the family secrets - we’re all ghosts now. Enough moonlight to find my way to bed. #haiku #senryu #monoku

The Floating World - a book of days (31) I sweep leaves out of my chair - another summer gone. Good evening, Your Fullness - Harvest Moon, Hunter’s Moon, Moondance Moon; the geese have been circling and calling all night long. #haiku #tanka #micropoetry

The Floating World - a book of days (29) As the Empire falls - an earthquake in the small hours, but the moonless sky is full of stars. - whispers in the next yard over I can’t quite make out. - a crow feather floats down - no - ash from a fire. #haiku #senryu #micropoetry

The Floating World - a book of days (28) As the Empire Falls - the harvest rots in the fields; where have the field hands gone? - the maple tree leaves - they just turned brown and died this year. - a mad Mourning Dove chases a nest-robbing Crow. #haiku #senryu #micropoetry

The Floating World - a book of days (27) Red-shouldered Blackbirds whistle in the cattails - the turtles doze on. My tongue still can’t believe that tooth’s not there anymore. 2 a.m. weather report: no rain yet, but a skunk has been through here. #haiku #senryu #micropoetry

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (26) Full Red Moon - why so shy? Come out from behind that tree and have a drink with me. I spoke to the spirit world in dreams last night; the Dead did not reproach me, and I woke to the calls of geese flying south. #haiku #tanka #micropoetry

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (25) Blue Jay - where’ve you been? - buries his loot around a stump and hops away. Dog at a crosswalk sits with his back to the cars, trembling. #haiku #senryu #micropoetry #floatingworld

The Floating World - a book of days (24) Fall Planting Prayer To Great Grandfather Mariano Galante Candy stripe beets, collard greens and amaranth, carrots of all colors - asleep under the straw, because of you. #haiku #tanka #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

The Floating World - a book of days (23) Cul-de-sac cats of the long August twilight watch the sky as the shooting stars come down. Homeless man fishes for bottles in the trash - once there was a river. #haiku #senryu #tanka #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

The Floating World - a book of days (22) August sleeplessness - shooting stars and cherry pie at 2 a.m.; the perfume of tomato vines just before dawn. Empty old rucksack hangs from a peg - it’s full of poems. #haiku #tanka #senryu #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (21) (Vow) That New Moon night we stood on a hill overlooking a river of stars and a starlit river, holding hands. Down on stiff knees to pull stubborn weeds - dirt between my fingers #haiku #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (20) After the harvest - empty beds under the stars. Two boys on a park bench, two old men in front of a fireplace - your arm around my shoulders. #haiku #senryu #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (19) Singers at midnight: a three-part harmony under the trees and streetlights; the scent of snuffed-out candles lingers in the shadows. Those seeds we meant to send you - they’re all grown and gone now. #haiku #tanka #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

The Floating World - a book of days (18) Startled in the night by the sound of plums falling - sixty year ago. I follow your shade through a hole in the fence to the tumble-down hill and the kite-blue sky. #haiku #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (17) Haiku/Ghazal/Whatever To A Crescent Moon (2/2) Watering tomatoes by the setting Crecent Moon - I’m sorry I hurt you. Birds sing at sunrise to the waning Crescent Moon - an off-key Crow joins in. #haiku #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

The Floating World - a book of days (16) Haiku/Ghazal/Whatever To A Crescent Moon (1/2) The Crescent Moon shines through the early morning fog - now it’s gone again. She stands outside under the Crescent Moon, waiting for hot flashes to pass. #haiku #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

Two crows preening themselves in a bare tree under a gray sky; they look bored - waiting for rain. #haiku #cinquain

The Floating World - a book of days (14) They’re called Forget-Me-Nots, but I always do until the small, sky-blue flowers return again among the green spring weeds. Outside in the dark trying to recall a poem - two owls giving hints. #haiku #tanka #micropoetry #FloatimgWorld

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (13) The first/last/only bee this springtime stopped at the green and purple lavender - then flew away before I could say goodbye. Crows’ chorus of boos follows the black cat from one yard to the next. #haiku #tanka #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

The Floating World - a book of days (12) Ghost, dream, memory - whatever this is, stay a little longer. Garden turnover: tulips out, tomatoes in - the Crows want breakfast. Toilet paper roll unspooled oopsie on the floor - I miss that stupid cat. #haiku #senryu #micropoetry

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (11) Cloudless night - a sky for wishes. In the soft spring rain, the maple tree leafs out - soaked, but I don’t care. Picnic blanket afternoon - the cherry blossoms float down on us while you sleep. #haiku #monoku #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (10) Crow says “Crow Moon? Bah! I’m hungry! I’m hungry! - there’s your poem for today.” Sunny again, cloudy again - wind-scattered blossoms. At the shrine, I light candles for all the people I can’t forgive. #haiku #senryu #micropoetry

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (9) In the dream, you were young again; I was kind, and knew what to do. Ragged night of sleep - purple-black clouds at first light where the dreams left off. The morning after - the sky is all cried out.. gray wet streets. #haiku #senryu

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (8) Birds before rain Oh! The pointy-headed bird - there he goes again! What’s his name again? Doesn’t matter, he’s gone now. Big fat cold raindrop lands on the back of my neck - rain’s rude arrival. #haiku #tanka #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (7) Birds before rain Who’s that yellow bird trying to sing in the maple tree? He puffs up and squeezes himself, but no sounds come out - he’s trying so hard. #haiku #tanka #micropoetry

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (6) Birds before rain Birds, these old bones ache like a half-remembered dream - it’s going to rain soon; from the way you perch and flit in your tree, you know it, too. #tanka #haiku #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (5) Early pink blossoms interrupted by two crows cawing on a bare branch - let me finish my coffee, then I’ll get your breakfast. After the storm - a patch of moonlight, some stars, echoes of the wind. #haiku #tanka #FloatingWorld

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

The Floating World (4) Cruel morning sunlight laughs at my bruised, crepe-y arms - how I used to strut! Pulled the bedding off, opened windows, lit candles - after the morning’s tears. #haiku #micropoetry #FloatingWorld

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (3) He sits on my porch in the dark, smoking, hiding from the rain and bad dreams. Ear poke rasp: “Right? Right?” - this Blue Jay exults over the breakfast he stole. Hungry Moon searches the bare trees - nothing to eat. #haiku #FloatingWorld

020

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

The Floating World - a book of days (2) Ice Moon halo tonight - yet here I am, arguing with ghosts instead. Ambushed by the wind as soon as I step outside - no paper yet. Is it still January? I’m going back to bed. #haiku #tanka #micropoetry

030

Ted MacConaghy @tedmacc.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

The Floating World - book of days (1) New Year’s night - lulled to sleep by frogs and rain. Sky waves of starlings crest and ebb at dusk - thoughts pass between us. #haiku #micropoetry #FloatingWorld
