As you can probably imagine, I tend to write several haiku at one time, given their brevity. So I've also decided to post several at a time. Each of them are stand alone works for now, that is to say they were not written with a particular sequence in mind, and so are not presented as such here. In fact, the haiku I post together here were not always written in the same session. But all were written since I began this renewed interest in poetry. Here are some more:
Sunshine in April
Melting residual snow.
Almost warm enough.
*
A hawk on a limb
Head hardly ever moving
Still sees what it needs.
*
Distant thunderstorm.
Small herd of cattle cloistered.
Pain in old mens' knees.
*
Neighboring meadow
Home to many fireflies.
Starry nights concede.
*
Fire in my hearth.
Shadows on friendly faces.
The presence of God.
*
Misty forest path.
A wild turkey crosses.
My steps are profane.
*
Eye to eye with deer.
Close enough to hear them snort.
They do me honor.
