Rainbow
bands of colour refracting
in vibrant beauty
Four Haiku's
as it flows over the Tundra
making big snow drifts
Cheeky monkey waits
until your back is turned
then steals all your fruit
Golden ray of sun
blazing paths full of sunlight
warms as it touches
Rain teeming downward
flooding the marshy grasslands
beware the bog lands
Abyss
Lest darkness embraces light
One cannot find truth
Water, Sun, Clouds
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

Haiku
brazen yellow, sun kissed
petals, brightly greet
The dawn of the day
magically the sun rises
flooding with colour
Gently the stems quake
as caught by the breeze they shake
quiver in its wake
Matching yellow bird
soars over the display of beauty
adding its sweet notes
A vision of bliss
such a simple little thing
the joy of nature
Wind Snow Seagull
thundering through the tree tops
branches crashing down
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Snow swirling, whirling
coating all in pristine white
like diamonds glinting
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hear the lonely shrieks
as seagulls twist and hover
over the fishing boats
Glow
Rain tenderly touching me
Crossing mountains peak
online today!Haiku 1 (diamonds in the snow---)
flowering bees this morning
and butterflies too
at the roadside
solitary flowering weed
vision of loveliness
look! in the garden
the poinsettia is bringing
its first Christmas
walk softly please
streetlights are making
diamonds in the snow
blown in with the wind
hummingbird nuzzles a bloom
and is blown away again
perched on the treetops
iguana closes its eyes
soaking in the sunshine
the new doorkeeper
of this deserted house
one mister spider
loud feathered thud
- flight into eternity
deceptive glass pane
About this poem:
For those who may not know, Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry. The standard structure consists of three lines in which the first line consists of five syllables, the second has seven syllables and the third has five syllables."Haiku is a finger pointing at the moon. If the hand is bejewelled, we no longer see that to which it points." The idea is to draw attention to what is being said and not to the words used to say it.
online today!Haiku 2 (lonesome nightingale---)
bed! how cosy you feel
this morning
wobbly legs misstep
toddler tumbles to the floor
screaming with fright
lonesome nightingale
serenades the airwaves
searching for his soul mate
mantis catches butterfly
I am very sad; yet, that is
the way of nature
motorcycle roars
penetrating the night
shattering the silence
on the waterfront
ocean liner calling her flock
- the loud blaring horn
Like an Angel
Golden halo on her head
She captures my heart
her aura so dazzling bright
she bestowed a peaceful smile
