Category: Haiku a Day

Ice falls cracked open What’s been hidden all along Water, movement, sound

Willow leaf cocoons Dangling hints of green emerge To color the world

Gentle upstream winds Stroke and bend pampas grass stalks As one flowing sway

Treetop to treetop Gregarious grosbeak chirps Broadcast their return

Petroglyph records Reveal deer populations Roaming river trails

Rotting shallow roots No match for extreme spring wind A giant goes down

Starting its spring thaw Lake ice slowly abandons Winter’s cold firm grip

Hair tossed by spring winds Shiatsu grass mound litter Seems to be running

Intoxication Earliest apple blossoms Draw wild bees buzzing

Trickle of a creek In a normal year runoff Would be a torrent
