Snipped Nature Haiku

twigs quiver	  wild thyme scent	life’s decline
   robins’		       my heart		    ebbing
   songs		         leaps		      tide

emotions		   autumn leaves         ode to joy
 morning		      windswept               starry
    dew		        dreams                  night

Thank you, Charles. I tried to project the same characteristics of a haiku; basing them on simple descriptive imagery would have been too easy. Regards // paul

Thank you, Jan. I got hooked on these; in fact I wrote double what I posted, but I remembered that the sponsor only wanted about 5, so omitted the rest. Hugs // paul
