Esson Alumbugu Poet Haiku

December

1
Lights stab night
Cocks call day
Snakes hide.

2
Sun hates sleep
Winds roam dry
Lips crack.

3
Air wears dust
Eyes lose tears
Streams dry.

4
Trees hate leaves
Shrubs choose death
Fires rage.

5
Dark strikes day
Bugs praise night
Doves roost.

Sara Kendrick March 5, 2012 at 3:49 AM Interesting Haiku...Must be a dry spell in your area..Sara Esson Alumbugu March 5, 2012 at 7:29 AM It sure is dry...not far from the Sahara desert. Thanks for commenting.

Nicholas Webb September 25, 2011 at 1:43 PM I like this one a lot. For me it paints a picture of the unchanging, giving the reader a feeling mixed (and this is just me) with lost hope and an appreciation for natural beauty at the same time. Keep it up mate!
