Growin' Up Moments prompted by 'The Willow Tree'

'Twas a sunny day, and a warm week-end,
Hard at play, just me, and my best friend.
As white as the snow, he and I e'ver did play,
"Bunny' is his name, 'twas simple as the day.

Floppy ears noted, with the help of a magic pen,
Silly me, he's tamed; knew him form the rest of kin.
Except for this day, to my bitter disappointment,
'Bunny' 'tis ne'er to be found; I wail; I lament.

Then running to the sound of the hide-and-seek tree,
I witness in horror, what's been done to 'Bunny' and me.
My pal, my bestest, he's the latest of animals progeny,
My Dad, I'm hatin', he believes he's providin' sustenany.

I "cry me a river," cause I am so unbelievin' sad,
At the loss I suffered, albeit at the hands of my Dad.
Were we that hungry; were we that so freakin' poor,
To snuff 'Bunny's life, of that I'm still not sure.

Haiku, Ahhhtchoo!

Pollen fills the air
Haikus flying on the wind
Where's my handkerchief?

Water, Sun, Clouds

Water

Water flowing down
babbling, full of joyfulness
giving life to all

Sun

Soul of life are you
blazing ball of sparking fire
lighting up our world

Clouds

Gentle clouds drift by
casting shadows over all
blanking out the sun

AUTUMN HAIKU

Orange leaves curl
Dawn chorus an echo only
Dew lies glistening

Muir Woods 2

Young and eager romps
the charmed saplings in the woods
naive of evil

Shooting Star

Glittering silver
shooting star arches the sky
disappearing fast

Gathering Clouds in Moonlight (haiku)

Grey mountain of sky
Eating valiant silver ships
Wild drunk on moon blood

The Hush Before Dawn

The hush before dawn
is fraught with poignant silence
as night turns to day


Trinkling sounds flow
through the air as the river
bounces over rocks


Deep silence abounds
and not a murmur to be heard
stillness shrouding all
