11) canada geese cut
the new snow dawn still
fresh as October
3) Snow.
Too much of it
for the hopeful bud.
4) musty lights shining
snow piling on my dark coat
peaceful smoke rising
5) tick of melting snow
counting down
winter
5) Rich ferment
Snow and mud
Preparing spring
6) A chilling morning
dim and dark...
what happened to spring?
7) On through the dark wood,
Over the hills's brow: the sea!
Boundless before us.
1) wolf crying in dark
mate lost to a cold steel trap
life long love expires
10) after stopping
the whirring fan
rainfall against leaves
2) Kittens make music.
They rub each other's bodies
and purr together.
4) sun's blinding light burns
sharp lines across the soft rug
gently warming cat
4) summer sun flute notes
pine needles biting soft skin
nature invites visit
5) lone car
on country road
violence of engine
3) It dropped upon my hair,
forest spider
lighter than forest dew
14) thickly padded mat:
rich, lush carpet on the ground,
greenly abounding.
14) leaf-dappled forest:
silver-shining moonshadows
paint the forest floor.
15) Pearblossoms falling
The nightingale complaining
Sleep impossible
15) Evening birds cry
The garden of blue darkness
A hedgehog sniffling
14) glimpses of the moon
through the leafshadowed spaces
paint the ground below.
15) The pale birch leaning
Shedding her leaves in the lake
Water down a drain
15) Iodine smell: The beach
Algae signs written in sand
A dog loping along
15) June evening, foggy green
Even the clouds are confused
pass right through the building
8) giggling child at play
the windblown leaves of autumn
they fly from your hands
5) over traffic jam
wheel freely
casual gull!
5) In house of meditation
Bathroom fan
Whines
9) watching wife's calm face
surrounded by warm blankets -
she smiles at a dream
10) fine girlish features
in a rounder face--
an old love
(Gar-note:
Here are two poems that are not necessarily haiku but nice responses
to their first look at Dogwood Blossoms!)
12) The flow of stale words
across my screen
bursts into color
and the fresh scent
of a flower.
13) At last - this highway
has a garden too - Stop - Look -
the dogwoods blossom!
