Fusion

In the sizzling heat
She wears new a furry mink
The sly little fox

Now its brimming cold
He dared bare himself of skin
The wily serpent

And what racket here
The cricket makes through the night
The bats cannot hear.

The rain is singing
The roof plays her pop songs sweet
Clouds dance on the street

A little black boy
Playing upon the blind rock
A trope for lost joy

Naked on the sand
No season tells tropic time
The sun milks the hand.

The eye milks the sun
For gold leaves waiting to fall
No fruits on bare limbs.

I love the way you captured nature as a whole in the Haiku. The different settings of nature corresponding with the lifecycles/traits of animals were fused perfectly. ~Des Juan
