A Swirling Haiku
wind through canopy
makes ocean waves of fall leaves
churning the season

Month: September 2017
It Cracked
it cracked
like an old bell
statutes of liberty
when, from Command’s seat, pronounced
judgments on where a brother takes a knee
while islands flood in the darkness
and neighbors shift rubble
the king’s worn crown
it cracked

A Treasured Tanka
new forest sets sail
on waves of lush undergrowth
acorns drop like rain
in a mast year for oak trees
the squirrelly pirates indulge

Human Dreamer
I
am
human…
born of earth
and water
into air
to breathe
and form thoughts that reach
to clouds
floating
free of walls
collecting
into raindrop tears
that fall
into
closely gathered pools
pains
mingled
where
collected fluid
overflows
and
penetrates the soil
pleading with the ground
to swallow whole
the barrier
that restrains
paths
imagined
by
my
human
Dreamer

A Cheering Haiku
southwesterly breeze
makes autumn’s dry leaves applaud
summer’s pink encore

A Seasonal Haiku
frost nips the green leaves
foliage folds to season’s change
the last petals fall
