Notes: The ruby-throated hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Canada and other parts of Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America.
During migration, some birds embark on a nonstop 900-mile journey across the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean from Panama or Mexico to the eastern United States.

Halloween Haiku (the forest recalls)
spirits awaken
orange glow before nightfall. . . .
All Hallow Eve dawns
the forest recalls
screams of caged men burned in fires. . . .
a druid’s dark sky
the lord of the dead
lingers in woods’ memory. . . .
a lone owl’s strange hoot
reaching for moon
black barbed spindly arms outstretched. . . .
The worshiping trees
crescent moon upturned
a faceless pale entity. . . .
*Sanheim grins down
*Sanheim was the Celtic Lord of the Dead, for whom human
sacrifices were made to make amends for sins of the evil dead.
All Hallow Eve took place the night before their new year, when
Sun was worshiped on the next day.
For PD's HALLOWEEN HAIKU Poetry Contest
Listen to the sounds--
Eerie, spectral, strange, haunting:
These are cursèd grounds.
Reeking, nauseous smell
Reaching to your very soul--
From the pit of hell.
Darkness and shadows
Fly on the cavernous walls
Like a million crows.
Teeth as black as coal,
Bloodshot eyes and twisted horns--
Satan’s crafty troll.
Flames that leap up high
Damned souls scream in piercing cries:
No respite is nigh.
Serpents intertwine
Around Satan’s very throne
Where demons recline.
Pitch black and blood red
Dominate the ghastly scene:
Where the Devil led.

Notes: The peacock is the national bird of India.
Only Indian peacocks have the famous flashy feather trains and vibrant blue and green plumage. Peacocks use their trains to attract mates – the bigger and prettier the train, the more likely a peacock is to attract a mate. The mating season coincides with the rainy season in India.

walking gracefully
with a pendulum movement ~
a herd of giraffes
the mass migration
crocodiles at the river~
food for the taking
gazelles are running
a hungry cheetah gives chase~
speed is the winner
a lone male lion
approaches a sleeping pride~
the battle begins
an elephant herd
arrive at the water hole~
use trunks to cool down
a swarm of locusts
devouring vegetation~
skeletal branches
army on the move
soldier ant battalion~
have left a scorched earth
vultures in the trees
animals weakened by thirst~
death is imminent
a downed buffalo
lions watch as herd returns~
bulls scatter the pride
basking in cool mud
the african river horse~
hippopotamus
laughing hyenas
find an unguarded carcass~
scavengers feasting
at the water hole
animals quenching their thirst~
alert for danger
a crash of rhino
hunted for their ivory~
extinction looming
a small antelope
found on the African plains~
cute looking dik dik
the baobab tree
silhouetted at sunset~
african icon

LIFE AND LOVE.....................HAIKU #12,068-12,073
Poverty stricken
Vital innards and limbs wins
Five Olympic gold.
He drank and sang songs
And strummed on dashboard of car
Then fell dead at noon.
My very white friend
Eloped in Spring, her wedding
Guests all dressed in black.
Fresh off press of life
He tumbled into God's hands
And kicked addiction.
Intoxicated
With his new love, he jumped ship
And kicked addiction.
Oh for the love of
Rain, my lover sits far off
His voice on the phone.
