haiku - Page 3






Explore
my fingers explore
your hills and caves --- and feel
the quaking begin 
 
 
 
 
Blossoming
in April wind gusts
a blossoming butterfly
flowers on plum branch
 
 



Daisy Petals
loves me, loves me not
daisy petals flood the floor
drought amid bounty 





War Dead
war dead ~
silently await ~
the bugle's call





Life And Death
crows march to and fro
eyeing the dying rabbit
fear and hunger vie







Buddha's Smile
the serenity
of the Buddha's smile --- reborn
a hyacinth blooms







Mountain Lake
Teton mountain lake
windless water flat as glass
mirrored earth and sky







Passing Reflections
passing reflections ~
in the mind's panorama ~
a long winter night




Words
bend of the river ~
building silt changes the flow ~
words pile upon words




Foray
mountains and valleys
foray into new exploits
your feminine form





Thoughtless
gentle patter of ~
rain of roof tiles --- the thunder ~
of our thoughtless words




Her Happiness
her happiness
my sole desire --- tears bathe
a fertile garden



Broken Hearts
broken hearts in pain
the banked fires of passion add
to our bonds of pearl


The Ant
an ant
struggles up a
mountainous pebble
 




Spring Cleaning
spring cleaning distress
as an ant struggles up a
mountainous pebble
 

 
 
Spring Baseball
sitting in the sun
thrill at the crack of the bat
spring in Florida
 



Lonely Mockingbird

lonely mockingbird
sits on my porch railing
singing his desire
 



Persephone
Persephone wakes ~
from her winter nap ~
leaves and blossoms sprout 



 
 
Caffeine
caffeine beckons
hot, black glory
my mood lightens
 



Fireflies
laughing children
filling mason jars
with fireflies  






my reflection leapt ~
from the still, clear water ~
liquid mirror




Lady Bug

Lady Bug is a
deadly mistress ... rose aphids
make a tasty snack

 
 
 
 
 
 




Scissortail
sharing the porch
with two flycatchers 
watching the rain




 
 
 
Chrysanthemums
chrysanthemums ~
offered to the Buddha ~
plea for early spring
