7 Pieces of Heaven  ( haiku | senryu )                                                


      1

windfallen

Instant lovers join—
In her bohemian flat,
The breadth of heaven.



      2

bright winter

Sun beams in finery  .  .  .
Heaven and earth enthroned,
White sky, white mountains.



      3

mirroring

Under azure skies—
Fuzz of bees and lavender,
Blue REM's of heaven.



      4

ephemera

Doomed bright innocence,
Vibrating sirens of youth,
  .  .  .  Bodies of Heaven.



      5

testament

Autumn leaves falling,
Trees burn stories of the sun—
Pages from heaven.



      6

annunciation

Wind through pine needles,
Humm  .  .  .  of iridescent birds,
Whispers from heaven.



      7

unfolding

White of sky blooming—
Little clouds from heaven fall,
Snow geese land on lake.
