Cherita #15
Nature chokes on smog
her fragile, mortal
breath exhales
industrial toxins escape
in ozone-wasting
expiration

Whispers
whispers in the willow
through tender branches
crackling
inside ice-sheet wrappings
felt
a promise…
these frigid hours will pass
soon Nature will sigh
her warm spring breaths
that tender branches grasp

Ignite
ignite
small candle’s wick
invisible by day
revealed in heavy shroud of night
in darkest hour, the little flame dances
makes shadows bend and sway, arching
along dry, tinder path
to winter’s hearth
ignite

A Swirling Haiku #2
flow, in tempest, swirls
rock and root anchor the bed
river dances through

A Harvest-Time Haiku
ripple pond’s canvas
birds play in Monet’s Grainstack
rich, autumnal swim

A Metamorphosing Haiku #3
ask Morpho ’bout pain
silently bound to suffer
flight will reveal gain

A Metamorphosing Haiku #2
soft skin stripped and flipped
harder than chain-mail armor
strong wings form within

A Transforming Haiku
chrysalis too tight
wrapped, painful transformation
long night to first flight

A Spooky Haiku #2
wind rustles the leaves
strips the branches down to bark
then skeletons dance

Renewed
renewed
Nature wastes naught
recalls every dead leaf
that feeds the life of each fresh bud
if past’s ghosts filled her heart’s echo chamber
they would drown out the living beat
of spirit recycled
reawakened
renewed
