POET'S CORNER

A haiku is a type of short-form poem that originated in Japan. Haiku poems are typically written in three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. They are unrhymed, but some poets may choose to rhyme the first and third lines for added challenge. Haiku poems often focus on nature or the seasons, and emphasize simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.)

BROKEN                                                    REFLECTIONS

zafu on wood porch                                    upside down pine trees

caws break the heavvy silence                    reflections on mountain lake

meditation ends                                                truth does a head stand

SPRING                                                    SOUNDS

red leaves, pink flowers                            pushing wind gusts rush

banks of sweet smelling blossoms            a wind chime responds in air

springs creeps into view                                sounds of freeze and peal

RAIN                                                         ARROGANCE 

gray skies wet with rain                            the world's a dark place

sodden hills make rivilets                            when you are the only light

my feet sink in mud                                        share space with others
