Haiku Poetry
Panther and the ant
Gentle strength meets swift purpose
Sex cuddles ensue
The moist month of May
Inadvertently verdant
Ample shades of green
Sensing bold sweet scents
Baby beast meets promised land
And skies high expand
Gold threads that connect
A perfect embroidery
Quaint quilt of love
I slip on wet rocks
With your safe grass between stones
My heart's labyrinth
Today the wind jammed
With leaves, birds, and katydids
Nature's orchestra
Cloaked in bright azure
Our golden friend throws warm rays
That makes the wheat bow
I lean in to loss
Like tall trees and the giraffes
That stretch for tasty
As encroaching winds
Strip my bark, pummel my leaves
I still stretch skyward
Green green summer lush
The woodsy retina hit
Fine-tunes the birdsong
Does my haiku speak
If no one reads or hears it
Like that fallen tree?
Silent moods pretend
Life's breezy and safe just like
A Netherlands cow
That cloud that swells joy
Flows with shapes in a straight line
To the soul of my canvas
When that rabbit dashed
I thought I saw a quick sloth
In her twitchy grin
Trail bench is gone - ha!
Fallen tree suits me better
Laughing with the wind
Haiku, I see you
And like an owl on the hunt
Haiku, you see me
Turkeys drinking wine
And eating pies and stuffing
Do poultry feel foul?
Full with pies and cakes
Happy still parched lips search on
Love is ferocious
Words tumble eyes wide
Like chimps banter branch to branch
Our truths leap with faith
White or black sheepish
Munch on earth's gurgling tummy
Eruptions surprise
Shy little hidden
People on snow dust lava
Mingle with tourists
Midnight swirls yell Thor
As other gods awaken
For Arctic dreamscapes
Two straight dimensions
Splash! Ducks play in the hot sun
It's brushwork magic
You tune to nature
Like when you spotted that duck
And said it was lost
Twigs, dirt, ruffled leaves
Crunch sweet earthy potpourri
Oops, careful! Turtle!
I think of our walk
Trees, black stream, and winter birds
“That song’s a bluebird!”
Sun soaked blobs glisten
Motionless on the slick log
Do turtles chit chat?
Hearty like the sun
Dancing rays and sparkling bright
Alive with laughter!
