Hiku is the English language tristich (three line) version of  Japanese haiku (including translations)with similar economy of words

 

2007 * the country stile hedged the wild flower meadow where I sit awhile * shadows in the sky- fluttering across my eye a brown butterfly * on the wind,a bell- muffled from across the square raindrops fill the air * on the lawn lily petals timeworn- summer draws to its close * the tiles dusted with snow- trickle down fills the rain butt * kissing-gate swings- eternally hitched to you my heartfelt love * in the paddy field waters of Spring- green shoots in my heart * 2008 * shadows lengthen chestnuts roast- winter bides * 2009 * Summer peepshow- snowberries sunbathing - autumn preview- * 2010 * frozen into epigrams tripping off a brush- haiga images * azalea perfume hints- yellows the lawn this summer morn * a long parting kiss- imprinted upon my lips her lingering heat * shades of shadowing fall highlights the pampas grass- rose hips ripening * 2011 * words left unsaid drift upon the east wind- freeze in my heart * breeze in trees tiny moths flutter - cherry blossoms me * no breeze tonight the trees pose statuesque- thoughts holds on pause * the email opens- through a veil of tears a rainbow appears * a sunset backlit sculptures the aboretum- I ,on 'morrow gaze * Indian summer- out of depression's shadow- Autumn leaves my heart * in my old calendar her yesterdays- in tears I reminesce * neath the chestnut tree conkers* abound,all around- a none-er strikes me *
*conkers=horse chestnut seeds-provide a schoolyard autumn pastime-wiki or google for more info

I love these, Brian. Haiku is one of my favorite forms. Merry Christmas. BTW: is the pic a self-portrait?
