Compendium of Haiku

On the wind,a bell
Muffled from across the square
Raindrops fill the air

on the lawn
as summer draws to its close
lily petals timeworn

kissing-gate swinging-
eternally hitched to you
my heartfelt love

shadows in the sky-
fluttering across my eye
a brown butterfly

the country stile
hedged the wild flower meadow
where I sit awhile

he dusted the album-
a memory of love
trickled down his cheek

out of the blue
the honey bee
sings with delight

nearby in sunshine
a blackberry blossoms
winter's summer pudding

in the silence
my  thoughts plod the path
of yesteryear

In my old calendar
her yesterdays-
in tears I reminesce

waters of Spring

in the paddy field-

green shoots in my heart
