A TOUCH OF GREEN

St Patricks day march
a touch of green
the common theme
also at Photohaiku Gallery

early morning
chirping birds celebrate
sunrise

flying before me
i continue walking
butterfly alights

stilness
the early hours
shrill whistle; now cawing

cirrus pink and white
as dawn gives way to morning
resurrection morn

red
catches the eye
St Valentine's Day

ROOSTERS CROW

awakening to
the distant sounds of roosters
and my CD spins

church spire
touching the sky
seemingly

home alone
the clock ticks
louder

at dusk
the pruned mango tree
a shadowy topiary

tall and statuesque
this tree where a lone bird sits
not even one leaf

Chopsticks clip art from chopsticks

STORMY WEATHER


lightning
fishes dart about
the pond
also at www.worldhaikureview.org sept03

 

sound of thunder
and; of the rain
against the window

 

wings span; resting
monarch butterfly
catches my eye

 

candles burn bright
the darkness returns 9/11
shroud of memory
also at http://www.wordmachine1.com/WorldWall12FG.html

 

a streak of lightening
the red bus wheel after wheel
curves off the main street

 

in October
deyas and strings of holly
store decorations

 

 

 

 

 

LILY OF THE VALLEY

the smell of
lily of the valley
grandmother's cupboard

 

 

 winter rain
the sparkle of diamonds
in the ballroom
also published at Haiku World

 

snowflakes fall
cupped hands
catch a mitt full

 

bird whistles
january showers
morning serenade

 

bear hug
two friends united
in time

 

cold nip at my ear
I drift a little bit but
windswept trees yield

PURPLE SHAMROCK

 june dampness
awaken by
the mosquito's song

 

the catch
shelled peanuts
