Some Haiku, Titled Or Not
Camouflage of a
plaid dressed creature accepting
a new paisley coat.
Cloudy nebula
fogging up the sky’s mirror.
Stars exhale their breath.
Enchantment found in
our furry brothers’ kind eyes.
The color of love.
The sea’s secret song
played as if a symphony
by all splendid beasts.
Beauty of the gods
we see in ocean, earth, and
sky as all hues gleam.
Guitar
Bent wooden body
Nylon strings reverberate
Elegant sounds birthed
Purchase
Snick of closing door
Melt into soft seat covers
New car smell excites
Shelter
Yips and barks echo
Enclosures house anxious dogs
I choose the beagle
Teacher
A new learning day
My hands covered with chalk dust
All lessons well taught
Spring
Snapdragon scent wafts
Bells of foxglove stand erect
Bees suckle bee balm
Winter
Snow covered driveway
Ungloved hand stings touching ice
A slippery day
Autumn Bliss
Crisp red apples bought
Ingredients assembled
Baked pie’s smell fills house
Summer
Sun’s bright gleam in heat
Splashing heard at every pool
Laughing children shout
Adoption
This is the best day
Hearing I’ll forever live
Here with these people
Baobab
Baobab grows tall
Thirsty roots dig deep in soil
Praise the tree of life
Immortal
Music of my soul
Ashes mingled with vinyl
Thank you, Mortician
Independence
I’ll think for myself
My faith is my own feeling
My heart tells the truth
Sexy midnight
Its shadow covers this land
Prince wails through speakers.
Words carried on gentle breeze
Telling all I wish to say
Tales about forgiveness.
Say the truth that’s in your heart
Sing it out from between your lips
Songs never unsung.
Flood waters cover
All those things you wish to hide
Sail wide over them.
Winter trees’ graveyard
Leafless branches bent and stiff
Spring’s resurrection.
straight jade road ahead
side streets unwind many truths
all is possible
drips from painter’s brush
opens up all shades of green
fronds’ laced extensions
stretching up skywards
new growth thickens as it blooms
springtime is unwrapped
supple scrollwork art
invites guests through every door
welcome mats unroll
