Haiku ( Tao )

The book of changes—
Universe of knowledge in leaves,
Four seasons, one tree.

Haiku (forebodings)

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

Haiku ( birdbath )

Morning mind crackles,
Darting flight of spooked birds,
. . . One lover has left.

Two prideful lovers—
In cold lips empty chamber,
. . . Words wait to be said.

Sky was not enough—
Bird flew into my window,
Broke neck hitting glass.

Mountain silhouette—
All there is of earth and sky,
. . . Did we ever love?

Haiku ( sorrow )

Moon, low, moans in sky,
Sun is blood, shot over forests—
Red, burning leaves grieve.

Haiku ( seraphim )

Colours hug branches,
Hungry birds patching bare trees,
Wings of winter leaves.

Haiku ( robins )

On my garden lawn,
A croquet field of red *****,
Whoops without mallet.

Haiku (remembrances)

Our perfect kiss—
Lost in autumns lonely winds,
. . . Single leaf falling.

Leaves

No matter tree strong
Or branch withered and shakey
Leaves must fall alone

Haiku (quartered)

One lash from her eye—
Lovely, cruel voice binding me,
. . . Exquisite torment.

Aware

The dullest life lived
is one lived never fully
aware of the world
