The Landscape's Stillness

Discolored meadow overtaken by swollen clouds, comfort the wild tree... Are there blue mountains beyond the unfrequented prairie? Find the horizon... No cowboys on horses; no coffee brewing on logs, while they are singing... Late Fall scenery, not yet conquered by deep snow, make this day dazzle... Hungry spiders crawl with a despised, changeless pace; the coyotes howl... Frightened by those sounds, I feed more logs to the fire, to shun strange vibes... Seeing that sun blaze over the landscape's stillness, I begin to dream... (c ) Copyright 2014 by Andrew Crisci

I was just putting a series together for my Carbon Monoxide poems, too. Your haikus put me at piece. Nice flow. I like the last one with the sun blaze the most.

Wonderful haiku series. The creative use of imagery works well. Though each poem stands alone they flow together. Enjoyed this one. Thank you for sharing it. Karen
