haiku

rhubarb stalks
stretch ever upward
poison to my soul
 
willow bare
raindrops ponder
fall to earth
 
bird’s chatter
sweetly sing me
safe in tree
 
dark cloud descends
raindrops follow
wet walk in mud
 
bitter wind
crushes my hope
spring gone again
 
hermetically sealed
from nature through
glass we see
 
elephant grass fibrillates
wafts purposelessly
view yet inhibits
 
cloud shape
eagle lands wide
sprawls wings royally
 
roof subsiding
tree growing
nature returns it all to earth
 
spring cherry blossom
pink clouds
float in puddles
 
black turf melts in fire
gran ponders
ashes and dust all
 
autumn leaves –
black in spring
in flurries caught in drains
 
rocking chair cat
white as snow
clouds pass unnoticed
 
resounding breeze
ruffles cat
black against dark sky
 
hair whips eyes
wind rustles trees
birds take flight
 
touches raindrops
cold on skin
dark sky by night
 
daffodils bend
snow drifts across
smells cleanly cold
 
cockerel crows
dawn breaks through
spring’s happy day
 
blossom bright sunshine
chickens peck worms
breeze gently passes
 
birdsong sweet
child snags coat
birds take flight
 
evening sun coats sky
yellow orange red
cold descends bright fire
