too high, too hot, too foolish
embrace earth’s caress

like giant grains of popcorn
edged with wisps of mist
in a clear azure blue sky
glowing in brilliant sunshine

About this poem:
Autumn in Mackay...online today!3 Dog Haiku
awakens and sniffs the air
then bolts from the room
dog in playful mood
spinning around and around
to catch its own tail
dog sniffing the grass
searching for the perfect spot
to put down a poop

online today!Haiku 7 - Nature's Diamonds
sparkling with the morning sun
bright dewdrop diamonds
beneath the streetlight
glistening on the snowflakes
sparkling white diamonds
on the ripples
shimmering in the sunshine
dancing water diamonds
Coyote
across fields of verdant green
a sly cunning thief
moonbeams-----haiku
dancing, prancing in the night
casting magic spell
About this poem:
for Tar my purist fanA winter Collection of haiku's
glittering silver droplets
slowly they will melt
slush everywhere slush
left behind by melting snow
land now watery
ice glistening bright
vast expanse over the lake
now here until spring
arctic snow flurries
sweep across the barren lands
settling in drifts
snow falling softly
clothing all the world in white
drifting aimlessly
About this poem:
inspired by Socrates title snowflake ty mateangry seas, seagulls and sands (hauki)
wave on wave each one larger
swamping the small boat
seagulls circling
harsh cries ring out in the wind
plunging and fighting
sands stretching for miles
seaweed and shells scattered wide
strewn debray everywhere
