Premium Member A Handful of Haiku: Nature's Changing Moods
Sunbeams bright as gold Turning night to joyous day World wakes up smiling Smell the storm's burden The wind is choked with sorrows Sadder far than rain Art higher than clouds Who can read the stars can read The world's destiny Stars in tidal pools The moon submerged in dewdrops The sun in a smile Screaming throwing things Nature's on a tear again Best to duck and run ...

Lightning's her giggle Thunder's her belly laugh Rainbow's Nature's smile Rivulets run down Like tears from a weeping hill Quenching valley's thirst Stars have no power There's no magic in moonlight Rain's not angels' tears With time and nature Diamonds from coal and pearls Congealed oyster spit You can't fool Nature She demands variety All part of the Plan From Nature's viewpoint Each season in its own turn Is the loveliest...
