A Haiku for the Day

A Cardinal Spring

Flashing red feathers

‘Pretty me’ the male bird sings

The female agrees

-

A Haiku for the Day

Furry Alarmclock

Whiskered nose poking

Tail dragging from head to toe

Time for food, human!

 Aren't I Angelic?

-

Bliss Interrupted - A Haiku for the Day

Bliss Interrupted

Weightless, earthbound flight

She emerges wet, shriveled

Gravity drags her

-

A Haiku for the Day

Seasonal Inspiration

Sunlight shimmering

Blooms emerge, bees seek sweetness

A summer storm brews

-

A Haiku for the Day

Winter Harvest

In limbs fruit laden

His face matches the berries

The house finch warbles

-

A Haiku for the Day

Preparations for Winter

Tales flash in the tree

Squirrels gather winter food

Frost lies thick as snow

-

Perennial

Summer grasses blown
Winter wind bends, not breaking
Leaves curl in, frozen
~~~

Crystal Sky

Swirling crystal sky

Snow falling; squirrels tuck tail

The earth lies dormant
~

The Hunt

Calm tracks in the snow

Water drips; icicles melt

The cat hunts his bird

~~~~~

Captured Attention

The cardinal leaps

Tiny avalanche - silent

The writer looks out 

~~~~~

Snow Day

Songbirds mostly stilled

Wind whistles from western skies

Snow rules all this day

~~~~~

Rain

Grey, white, like most souls

Skies open, rain falls like tears

Birds sing, joyful spite

I could have spouted about finishing my rough draft of the NaNoWriMo novel but a friend inspired me with his Haiku, instead.  Well, the weather has something to do with it.  Anyway, come check out his blog!
