War Haiku

Buffalo soldiers
Apache feathered spirits
war within a breath

Johnson and Nixon
Kissinger on my TV
smoke over Da Nang

Chinese raid Taiwan
UN emergency meet
calm before the storm

Music Haiku

walking in Salzburg
Wolfgang Amadè Mozart
distant violin

an old piano
broken keys and tangled wire
good wine, sweet music

War Haiku - another take

Quiet in trenches
Orders followed, carnage left
Shadows of the dead

In sunflower field
An abandoned violin
Refugees fleeing

Born for the combat
Blasts of gun fire, fierce ambush
Tin soldiers at war

Nature Haiku 5.7.5.

~~~~~

a bird sang sweetly
despite the city chaos
nature will survive

~~~~~

a single raindrop
disturbed the glistening pond
then reflections danced

~~~~~

a sudden shower
the adults ran for shelter
children love puddles

~~~~~

Haiku

Love's procession high
the carnival train returns
turning of the wheel

Sketching in the dust
mountains and rivers abound
two birds on a stone

Meadows in the spring
a golden hour of blossom
fragrance on the wind
