Things Could Be Worst

Magnificent gifts
Equals luminosity
Of one called the Sun

Red rivers run smooth
Flowing to mesh with life's pool
Gifts reservoirs cool

Sclera of twin orbs
Posing where the whole world looks
Foes surface like crooks

Blue veins quiet streams
Where the heart is, you have been
Though obscure you're clean

Blue skies white nimbus
Red silent sun simmering
I've angered no one.

Dear Val, Haiku is about seasons and little creatures of earth, or in general, about nature. When you look at thin slice of moon, or a red ant hurrying somewhere for some reason, when you see variegated four o clock courted by hummingbird, or wind twiddling your wind chimes on verandas; create five, then seven, then five syllabic lines of a haiku as you see fit. God bless, happy holidays.
