Haiku

last night's skirling winds
swirled with a forceful spin
trees were left bowing

Haiku

the sky on this day
shows a wintry shade of grey
dismal its display

Haiku

the vulpine duopoly*
did skew terrific results
for their monopoly

they've been so bullish
in fashioning such great ends
*it is quite freakish

Haiku

in a hot bedroom
bonfires of desire heat up
to a fever pitch

Haiku

the narow river
slowly snaked a passage
through the wooded glen

Haiku

Haiku

volleys of thunder*
rolled across eve's dark sky
*announcing rain's call

Haiku

elms in the front yard
have started to exhibit
autumn's amber hues

Haiku

winter's naked trees
shall soon be clad in leaves
dressing for spring days

Haiku

o'er the black sea sky
the bright silvery moon sailed
throughout the long night

Haiku

Haiku

a faint pencil line
marks dusk's far off horizon
in day's curtain close

Haiku

Haiku

gladly the birds sing
though skies be so drably lit
their trill resilient

Haiku

Haiku

yellow breasted wrens
bobbed neath the clothesline
seeking some grass seed

Haiku

Haiku

before the hail storm
a sound akin to a train
roared in the air

Haiku

Haiku

the sky this very day
did don a cape of dull grey
so drab the display

by morrow's morning
there'll be a brighter dawning
with sunlight spawning

Haiku

as intense sunlight
cut through the forest's canopy
it left dappled shade

minute dewdrops clung
onto the tall grass blades
earlier this morning

Haiku

along the shoreline
the lovers slowly walked
on that moonlit night

Haiku

day draws to an end
a half crescent sun lies o'er
the western sky line

Haiku

at Glasgow's altar
green zealots offer prayers
for carbon cut backs

Haiku

a soft autumn breeze
tickled the daisies petals
with is finger tips

Haiku

timely falls of rain
now quench the dry countryside
with a damp blessing

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Jul 2014

Haiku

a convoy of trucks
thundered down the main drag
of our small township

Haiku

Haiku

a heavy sheet of frost
draped over our township
earlier this morning

Haiku

a low flying crow
eyed pumpkin seeds lying
in Helen's backyard

Haiku

the sun has gone down
on the last days of the run
ending all her fun

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Oct 2013

Haiku

blustering winds blow
with vigor across the plains
stirring dust plumes

Haiku

Haiku

bright sunlight splinters
cut slender pathways down to
the vale's dim lit floor

Haiku

she arrives dressed
in effervescent color
she's spring's rainbow girl

Haiku

Haiku

horse tail clouds drifted
across the blue parchment sky
this dazzling spring day

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Oct 2013

Haiku

after days of heat
the countryside had baked dry
like a burnt biscuit

Haiku

Elizabeth Squires Mar 2017

Haiku

on the grass blades
tiny glass dewdrops closely clung
to reflect rainbows

Haiku

the vast sky glisters*
with millions of pinholes
on this clear bush night

we are fortunate
who view such a bright display
*its brilliance so grand

Haiku

Haiku

her bloom smells e'er sweet
yet when she turns into fruit
there's a bitter taste

Haiku

stars are appearing
in the expansive bush skies
each one twinkling bright
