Haiku Yearly Cycle

Steel blue Winter dawn

Freezed twigs in crystal grip,

Far off smoke won't rise.

Crocus bold erupts

Robin stops and broods, that Spring

as all things, must pass.

Deep blue sea shimmers,

Wind blown sail heels into foam,

Then takes wing - a Gull!

Look! The Phoenix Pear

Tree flames once more at dusk - Yes!

We live forever.

Samurai Hara Kiri

Cherry blossoms fall.

Sword and death poem polished.

Next life hopes give joy.

Haiku - Humming Bird

Dance, Ruby throat, whirr.

Suck broods sup. But look, stars rise!

Nested, what is joy?

Haiku, Reflecting Pool

Mist elopes with wind.

Stork legs sway. On shore, worn rough

pillars give no ground.

Haiku - Dying Bud - Version Two

Moon bud falls in pond.

Crimson waves set night aglow.

All life cries, "too young!"

Haiku - Rose in Crystal Vase

Luscious red cut rose;

Vases of endless starry lights.

Tearful petals fall.
