Note: These were written and not presented here until now. I do so enjoy writing Haiku. A challenge writing in such few words yet capturing a scene, a memory and piece of life and then casting it upon paper. I hope you may enjoy these as much as I did in the composing of them.

Twenty-one Scenes Of Life And Poetic Thoughts

That Resplendent Scene

winter white landscape
frozen limbs on ancient trees
old snowshoes ready

sun burst upon bright new dawn
moonlight on lake shore

Beautiful

two dogs fast asleep
clouds in a dark stormy sky
dawn's breeze soothes the soul

Thank you my friend. Truth is those are all based upon something I have either seen, lived, read about or imagined. I have a very long past to call from when composing Haiku. And my reading the many, many brilliant haiku posted here by far, far better composers of haiku than I, leads me to write more and thus strive to try to learn more from those very talented poets!
