Not-So-Late Arrival

Into the earth 
is our final fate,
the best we can hope for
is to be really late...

Damn, I'm always 10 minutes
early for everything!

Premium Member Protesting

Protesting late arrival of spring
This long winter's been lingering
Seriously overstayed its welcome
Not leaving till it's warm and sunny
I’m staying indoors to shout and pout

Premium Member Freeze the Moment

Pounding of the sun.
Pounding of the storm.
Drummers on trees.
Freeze the moment
Of unusuality.

Stream of arousal.
Stream of hot rays.
Stunning silence.
Freeze the moment
Of tranquility.

Heed transient thunder.
Heed, it’s late arrival.
Wringing out rain.
Freeze the moment
Of instability.

Late Snow

rain turned snow
                    late arrival
                    heavenly fall of flakes
                    delays spring
                    asks another time when
                    spring delays
                    flakes of fall heavenly
                    arrival late
                    snow turned rain

Premium Member June Bugs

~ sequence of haiku ~

 

late arrival
everyone asleep
quiet as can be

fat june bugs flutter
in the dark of night
all too excited

ignoring this swarm
of june bugs
we put up our tent

one of us filling
his pockets
for tomorrow’s bait

clear skies and waters
when sun rises
fishing lines are cast
