haiku 116

the first day of spring

has the trees of the forest

weeping with joy

–photo by me

peaceful protest (shadorma)

docile deer

occupy the road

in peaceful

protest of

the human exploitation

of their deer trails

the ol’ barn (tanka)


old, abandoned barns

have old, forgotten secrets–

within and without

we may never know all that’s

buried behind the ol’ barn

beast of the field

a mastodon

lay on the lawn

until the dawn

turned into day,

and thereupon,

the beast was gone–

the mastodon

turned into hay

pose

a traveling troupe

of dancing does

will oft regroup

to strike a pose

the eyes have it

the vote is in on

animals possessing souls

and the ‘eyes’ have it

the animal photos i use

when blogging are so hard to choose,

that i write the texts

while kitty selects

the ones that will get the most views

fauna of the earth

whether we’re a

death-defying deer,
a cool, curious cat,
a huge, hairy horse,
or a nutty nuthatch,

we fill our own niches

and we have our own worth

for each of us enriches

the fauna of the earth

haiku 115

hiking in the cold

the morning sun warms my face–

right down to my soul

–photo by me

owl (cinquain)

owl

nocturnal, drowsy

posing, drifting, dozing

hitting the hay now

hooter
