A Collection of Haiku
He wandered away
As though he was attracted
To some dark allure
Faint calliope
There's a trail of dust out west
The circus draws near
Play mariachis!
Cry the song of love’s lament
What a joyful pain
A cheerful drifter
Spins a hurdy gurdy tune
Children twirl with glee
There is a fable
The raven who ate the sun
Calls but cannot sing
Cold fog on the lake
The ospreys have quit their nest
Geese are on the wing
When I am joyful
And quiet and satisfied
I stop making sense
The storyteller
Waits in her candle-lit tent
Your life for a dime
Ghosts of volcanoes
Haunt Coconino's plateau
Does lava still lurk?
When written at last
My story will fill the page
No room for margins
Autumn is paisley
Layers of twisting patterns
Colors intertwined
The moon longs for light
Like a suitor suspended
Fain to glow again
What sore secret broods
What revenant revisits
That she wakes weeping
Once in the springtime
The remontant dianthus
Gives again in fall
my autumnal friends
changing lives - stories falling
expecting winter
Clement October
A good day for a tootle
With nothing in mind
Something beyond us
Where the compass will not point
Without reference
reliably kind
when the days increase with warm
spring forgives winter
Encouraged by the rain
The Ponderosas respire
A vanilla balm
I am primitive
A glad and natural beast
More ape than angel
We are taking more
Than the earth has to render
Nature's depletion
In spite of ourselves
There’s fortune on the table
We just have to choose
Before he looked out
He knew the snow had fallen
First of the winter
Deprived of the sun
Leaves beautifully dying
Latent hues revealed
Winter is sabbath
Time for rest and reflection
Covenant renewed
I would have few doubts
About what I think I know
Were it not for dreams
Prints of beginning
Early thoughts of a young man
Letters to myself
The charm of autumn
Never is a conclusion
As bright and graceful
may there never be
something lost for what you need
enough for enough
