I am very early in the formal study of haiku….but!  The impact of writing through direct observation keeps you in the moment.  Maybe.

Some Random Haiku

The koi are hungry

Orange mouths gulp green water

Good the algae grows

–

Spring robins watch-

Quarrelsome beasts these birds!

They don’t share the worms

–

Half submerged eyes

Of frogs in algae filled pond

Reflect cloudy moon

–

Swifts- dark crescent moons

Sickles cutting through the dusk

Tag the slower bats

–

Chatter of sparrows

Treble voices to spring song

Dried leaves percussion

–

Soft rains caress earth

A hand slides up a soft thigh

Cherry blossoms bloom

–

Sultry air disturbs

The sleep of husband and wife

Panting without lust

–
