A Haiku Anthology
feathered wanderers
how far… what lands you espied
moonlight guides you on
~
feathers… how many
would it take to lift me… fly
a dreams worth… magic
~
the crow the raven
black as pitch… their beauty gleams
precious jewels
~
donkeys… mules… oxen
man’s workhorses… over time
still abused… misused
~
snow-capped… the highest
mountains… peaks… touching the stars
borrowing snowflakes
~
super condors
majesty… kings… queens of flight
twenty-twenty sight
~
mister mole
a golfers nightmare
in each hole… one
~
with my magic wand
holes I slit in the clouds
so the sun can see
~
sea glass… pollution
first as sharp as crystal light
honed down to jewels
~
cow jumped over the moon
fairy tales… lies… cows can’t jump
fairies don’t have tails
~
white sand
wave ground coral… beached
once homes for many
~
once homes for many
wave ground coral… beached
white sand
~
hark… nature crying
pollution… its wicked ways
heed natures warnings
~
babies forever
some life… bar one day
adults breed then die
~
humans if only
adults just for the one day
would peace prevail…
~
green life
supports all that breathe
returned…o yes… facies
~
red wine, I drink its aroma
honey, I drink its nectar
autumn I breathe its breath
good in words alone
they breathe for the world
perpetuating life
~
tears emotive reason
inadequacies… failings
love… most emotions
