Look Out Above! (2)

When trees are laden
with many a bird at dusk,
don't stand under them.

Look Out Above!

When trees are laden
by snow fall for many days,
don't stand under them.

Road Trip

Singing silly rhymes,
for my kids, many-a-times,
makes long drives feel short.

I Never Knew

Solitary bard,
Finds poets all around him.
Wow! What a surprise.

Breakfast

The smell of fresh toast,
made my mouth water today.
Life's simple pleasures.

North Winds

Cold, biting winds blow.
Brown leaves swirl around tree trunks.
Winter is coming.

Happy Hills

Snow falls steadily.
Hills become a fresh canvas
for kids with bright sleds.

Reflection

Koi swim silently,
White and Pink Lotuses bloom.
Sacred pool. Clear sky.

Tired

Driving home at night.
Radio plays, wipers dance.
Rain and Jazz mix well.

Danger

Frogs croak, crickets chirp.
Silent predators stalk prey.
Night in the Jungle.

Sunrise

Dew drops on grass blades.
Shimmering, fleeting, morning
diamonds. Lost if touched.

On the Apricot Tree

White blossoms of spring,
Tiny green leaves follow soon,
Impatient Nature.

Autumn

Blazing red leaves turn.
Heralding Autumn days gray,
cold, short, bare. Old Age.

River

Rain, quenching parched fields,
Giving life and taking it,
Floods wash away homes.

Life on Hold

The snow melts slowly,

The afternoon sun burns bright,

Bare trees long for spring.

What is Haiku?

5 on the first line,
7 on the second line,
and 5 on the third.
