2 haiku on autumn
One red-gold leaf
Skating on a sudden squall
Falls
The grey squirrel
Rakes leaves over its hoard of acorns.
Buried treasure.

Poem: What the Oracle Didn't Tell You
It's been a while since I've written haiku but I remember that it's supposed to have an image or two and that it's supposed to be ambiguous so the reader can put his/her own interpretation onto it.
"What the Oracle Didn't Tell You"
The fruit
that is never plucked
rots on the vine.

My friends and I write haiki... for National Poetry Month
I was going through some poetry I'd saved off and ran across these. I wrote this winter before last:
icicle
giving itself away
drip by drip
and got this response from my Aunt Kate:
icicle
making more of itself
with each flake of snow
and this from Kat, note how biting cold has two meanings. Nice job!
popsicle
freezing itself solid
biting cold

old woman, wrapping
her cat’s gifts
—centering the bows
And mandielion has compiled some wonderful baseball haiku

cocoon haiku
spreading across
the open cocoon...
a butterfly's wings
spreading across
the empty cocoon...
lunar wings

dancing water
Variations from musing on the theme of "dancing water".
breathless...
dancing water sparkles with
the light
wind tossed waves...
in the placid depths a fish approaches
the hook
dancing water...
the light mirrored on
green leaves
wet shoes
jumping into the puddle
splash!
slow dancing
swaying in time to
unheard music
breathless...
dancing water sparkles with
the light
wind tossed waves...
in the placid depths a fish approaches
the hook
dancing water...
the light mirrored on
green leaves
wet shoes
jumping into the puddle
splash!
slow dancing
swaying in time to
unheard music

tears drip down like rain
tears drip down like rain
and freeze against your icy expanse
winter's chill
and freeze against your icy expanse

Haiku: Goose with broken wing
Goose with broken wing
Denied freedom of the sky
Flies through the water.
Goose with broken wing
Struggles against the current
Dreams of sky freedom.
