Haiku is a short Japanese poem
using 3 / 5 / 3 or 7 / 5 / 7 syllable patterns
to describe a moment, often in nature.
KISSED
Barefoot dawn.
Hot fire ant kiss
Sears my sole.
*
STUCK
Spider webs
Cling to shaven skin.
Gulliver.
*
DAY BREAk
Waning night.
Kookaburra choir
Lauds first light.
*
EarthED
Turning earth
On an Earth turning.
Unison.
*
TREE TALK
Dry beech umbrella.
Pitter, patter leaf chatter;
Dusty canopy.
*
FIRST DROP
Parched pavement.
Scorched-city sky bursts;
Fragrant rain.
*
FINAL BREATH
Dead quiet,
Decoupled from flesh.
Life glides on.
