Played in diamond crested pain
An iron will of fame...

Yellow and Red  
makes the Uganda flag,
and the crested crane
a sign of peace....

White crested waves wildly dancing 
Release cool ocean spray, refreshing

‘ Moon-Tides ’     Haiku # 7

   Moon on Ocean-Tide
Crested so High, and did Ride
     Surf-up To My Side...

In this lovely heart
Your image crested in love
And no longer mine
Your wimpy barks
Cast away my loneliness...

Forrest greenery,
Absent from the dessert,
Filled my being as I crested
The mountains on my
Journey to the sea....

silver crested waves
full of seagulls
breaching dolphins

Through sand and haze beach goers stroll
Leaving footprints where soft crested waves roll

With Mother Nature's red crested skies
     displaying brilliant shades -
An awesome sight for my eyes
    she quieted my restless head....

Stone pillars erected against the gales, 
Silenced in buried secrets deep. 

Hurled discourse from crested toppled waves,
Endless tattle tossed in a heap....

crafty moon
brings this
slight chill
in the air
when the
banana yellow
crested
cockatoo flies home
from here to there but 
your heart
won't let go of
the air...

titmouse
endures winters
delightful cheery call
spotted hiding sunflower seeds

In sunlights defilade
weed outgrows the plant
and marshmallowed clouds
dissipate in whispered wisps
owed was freely given
and crested wave
beckoned burning shoe less feet...

As I crested the top of the hill,
looking out over the city.
Lights twinkling and sparkling,
like diamonds in the night sky.
As far as the eyes can see,
the beauty in Albuquerque....

Windswept
  Voyagers sail
     Across sunset's 
        Amber horizon.

Billowing breeze
  Spawns crested waves,
     Crashing ashore.

Sunrise
Pencil drawing on the prairie
Creeping
Toward a crested defiance
Stretching
Fingers of doubtful warmth
Teasing
Old bowing white birch
Chasing
A memory's mist
Answering
The prayers of darkness

Lions
Fearless, watchful
Supreme and majestic,
Their mane, golden crested crown worn
With pride.

weed covers the pond-
a crested grebe
dives for treasure

a puffed up firecrest
alights upon
our smoke tree

a dawn delicacy-
the mistlethrush's
everyday grub

out of the nest-
the fledgling hopes
mother finds a worm...

From the hilly tops
We once were crested 
Stilled and embedded 
We were once nestled 
But a gentle tap
With a gentle slide 
Started the great fall 
Sending all down 
Yes down
With a bemused smile 
Unearthing hidden canines...

It must have dazzled Free Will
To be jousting with Fate.
Clanks there no discordant
But armour intimate.

Dark, or roseate-crested, one of
Either the former's knights.
Sent out its castle wall, beyond
For the latter's world-fights....

Nestled in Nature,
and rattled by brush.
Surly looming Shadows
Adorned in Fire
Crested by the Sky.

Scarred by thick Dirt
and Wilting Plants.
Wandering Cries,
Stifling Heat.

Desolate
Expanses
Perservere.

Drifting;
Lost Souls

Trek...
