A Collection of Haiku
Play now for me Spring
Make tunes of hope and color
Morning birds will join
Uncalculated
I remain to be pointless
No circumference
Spring busies itself
With bees and birds and breezes
Open the windows
Don’t wait for poems
It’s hard to write while sitting
Find them on a walk
How peaceful the day
When I answered no questions
Relief in the vague
With no roofs or walls
650,000
They’re not criminals
When at my clearest
Still - at the common level
I am like water
What I now wonder
When did I become so small
Merely but gladly
What of life weighs more
However ephemeral
Dreams or the waking
freed of three conceits
now disabused of oneself
to be without me
The three conceits are to think you are more than someone,
less than someone, or the same as someone.
Springtime is green first
Even blooms are verdant-cased
All is young and glad
Kneeling - as to pray
With tender care I plant this
Faith grows eternal
What is ultimate
That surges and decreases
Death once dead - what then
Spring’s invitation
To all that would be renewed
Join the jubilee
Stayin' out all night
Hopin' blues will go away
Too late to regret
It's never too late
To catch the rhythm of blues
Get down side of life
Memories so sweet
When it all seemed so simple
One more day away
When she put him out
Like a dog in the cold night
Lyin’ at the door
Do we love perforce?
Are we meant for this nonesuch?
Do we have a choice?
My dearest assured
I will build you a bower
Refulgent with love
Fluffy chicks of spring
Bathing in the warmth of youth
Follow mother's path
shadow of the moon
proof on our most modest speck
the stars are always
My thanks for the storm
The rain - soil - worms - seeds - and grass
All things natural
already the past
what you think is now is not
when you live too fast
The tree decided
Feeling warm, glad, and sated
It burst into yellow
Sooner or later
I will surely lose lose my mind
And find something more
Rain interrupted
The saguaro has its sip
A new drop begins
Peace in wandering
Every stride is a journey
Each a new frontier
