Haiku ( reverences )

Death silences birds . . .
In the plain, carryon fields,
. . . Crows flying in low.

Haiku (forebodings)

Troubled waters rise—
Sands march, locust lost in maize,
Harvest moon sinking.

Haiku ( sleepy snows )

Winter fantasia—
Wolves and loon moaning full moon,
Snow white swans landing.

Seán Mac Falls

Haiku ( snuffed )

Outside is great cave . . .
Coal mines exploding the skies,
. . . Canaries long dead.

Haiku ( forlorn )

White face burns in night . . .
Light of moon slides across lake,
. . . Spot on loneliness.

Seán Mac Falls

Haiku ( white flag )

Small shell of her back—
Slip of tongue rounds breaking mouth,
. . . Arms surrendering.

Zz Haiku ( Druidess )

My memories burn . . .
Red rose lighted by the moon,
. . . Cold funeral pyre.

Seán Mac Falls

Haiku ( spouting )

Loudly oily crows . . .
Craning, walk prehistoric,
. . . Shining in the sun.

Haiku ( transmute )

Daisies crowd my lawn,
Soon clover, bees, butterflies—
Now, garden meadow.

Haiku ( storied )

Before man was tree,
Babel bodied giants branch,
With celestial hands.

Seán Mac Falls

Haiku ( entwined )

There is no threshold . . .
Lines between earth and heaven,
When is shrub a tree?
