Energy

ENERGY

old tree standing bare
fitful workings underneath
grizzly bear asleep

what the earthworm hears
a mighty boiling nether
blue sky    sunshine

level plane
sky    forest asleep
mighty roiling beneath

Interesting work..A grizzly bear snoring probably would be a very rolling rumbling sound indeed...Enjoyed reading this eve..Thanks for stopping by..On most of my poems now I add something if you just click on "About This Poem"...The hummer is a hummingbird..Apparently the Albino Hummingbird isn't so rare..Someone sent me an email with a picture of one then I typed it into my search engine and there were many pictures of them..I personally have not seen one only pictures..Sara

You are on a roll with the kus Daver and doing a great job with all. I love especially the first on in this trio. The "fitful workings" is really special.

Hi, Gwen. I'm not long winded, poetry-wise, never have been, and so Haiku is a good medium for me. I

Excellent use of the "twist" in each verse, Daver. What creative images of nature! (I especially love the second verse.) Well done, my friend. Love, carolyn

you have a quality that in my language means roughly something like this; silently floating...sorry, it means so much more but i can't find the right terms. I truly enjoyed it though. captivating

You are really good doing haiku Daver, I think if I had to choose, the first one is my favorite. that second line must be those peaceful snores. Keep up the great work.
