Fall


Trees set themselves on
Fire, the wren takes flight to find
A green place to perch.

This is the last of the haiku as tomorrow is the Expressions: Poetry At the Pub's haiku challenge. I must say, I've grown to enjoy writing haiku and you never know I might post one every now and then.

Spring Is Here


  
Sunlight warming the 
Cool Spring air, daring blossoms
Sitting on my table.

A Frog's Life

Tadpoles swim in the
Pond. The old bull frog croaked
For the very last time.


Another attempt at Haiku, I think this is the closest I've gotten to the traditional, Japanese form.

Watching Snow - Haiku


Snow fell softly
Unto the lashes, eyes
Cast up to the sky.


Thank you Barbara and Gay (Beachanny) for the tips. This haiku is closer to the traditional, Japanese form, but I fell short because my syllables are 4-6-5. I also reference nature and a season. I'm still working on it.
