Valsa George Poet Haiku

Seasons Gone

(spring, summer and autumn)

from under the earth's hard crust
sprung a host of daffodils~
golden tint thrills eyes 

( 7, 7, 5)

ladybird in polka frock
hid under the leaf~
shaded from summer's hot beams

 (7, 5, 7)

dry leaves flew about
hastening to their cold grave~
some moan under crushing boots 

(5, 7, 7)

Dec.8.2022
